England striker Wayne Rooney will not be charged following allegations he assaulted a photographer outside a Manchester nightclub.
Rooney, 21, was interviewed by police after a complaint was made that a man had been attacked near the Panacea club in Manchester on 15 October.
But the Manchester United star, who was not arrested, will not face any further investigation because the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) decided there was not enough evidence to pursue the case.
A CPS spokesman told the BBC: "The complainant has been informed about the decision."
