Moyes sues Rooney over book
Wayne Rooney is being sued by his former manager David Moyes.
It has been confirmed that Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney is being sued by his former manager David Moyes over comments made in his autobiography.Rooney's book, entitled My Story So Far, accuses Everton boss Moyes of being overbearing and controlling during the England man's time at Goodison Park.
It is further intimated that Moyes was the main reason behind his move to Manchester United, with Rooney suggesting the Scottish tactician leaked details of a private conversation, with regards his future, to the Liverpool Echo newspaper.
Moyes is believed to be claiming more than £300,000 in libel damages, with the writ issued at the High Court in London.
The writ claims the allegation had 'injured his professional and personal reputation and caused serious embarrassment and distress', with Moyes having also issued libel proceedings against the book's author Hunter Davies and publishers Harper Collins.
Moyes has requested an injunction preventing the offending passage of the book from being published again.
