Wayne Rooney became disorientated after taking sleeping tablets while drinking, the forward s spokesman said following confirmation of his arrest.
Rooney was arrested on public intoxication and swearing charges in the United States last month.
The former England and Manchester United captain, who now plays for DC United in MLS, was arrested by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority in Virginia on December 16.
The 33-year-old s spokesman moved to explain the circumstances that led to Rooney s arrest.
During the flight Wayne took a prescribed amount of sleeping tablets mixed with some alcohol consumption and consequently was disorientated on arrival, the spokesman said in a widely released statement, as reported by BBC Sport.

Kevin De Bruyne exited Belgium s Euro 2020 last-16 clash with Portugal due to injury on Sunday.
The Manchester City midfielder s involvement in the Euros was delayed due to facial fractures sustained in the Champions League final.
De Bruyne had subsequently starred as Belgium eased through the group stage, however, assisting one and scoring another in a comeback win over Denmark, before laying on a further assist against Finland.
But he lasted just 48 minutes of the knockout game against Portugal in Seville.
Joao Palhinha had been booked just before half-time for a challenge on De Bruyne from behind, and the felled star soon found he could not continue in the second period.
Red Devils coach Roberto Martinez took no risk, quickly calling Dries Mert…
Russia captain Andrey Arshavin has warned his side there will be added pressure on his team to progress from the Euro 2012 group stage.
The Euro 2008 semi-finalists were drawn alongside co-hosts Poland, Greece and the Czech Republic in Friday night s draw, and the Arsenal man acknowledges that his nation will be expected to qualify for the latter stages.
All will expect the Russian team to get out of the group, which will undoubtedly put pressure on the team, the 30-year-old said, according to Sport-express.ru.
Arshavin was also wary of Russia s possible opponents in the knockout phase. If Dick Advocaat s team qualify from the group, they could potentially come up against the likes of Portugal, Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands.
Another minus is tha…

Beyond Good and Evil is one of those games that have an outsized fanbase and reputation for how well they did back when they released. When it launched over two decades ago in 2003, the action-adventure title was received well by critics and audiences alike, but its sales didn’t reflect that acclaim. The game was regarded a commercial failure, and though it achieved cult classic status through sheer word of mouth in the years following its launch, it wasn’t until 2017 that Ubisoft officially announced a sequel. And of course, we all know how that went, too, because Beyond Good and Evil 2 still remains MIA.
Now, however, celebrating the original game’s two-decade anniversary (which actually happened last November),…
The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series enjoyed its fair share of critical and commercial success back in the day, about a decade and a half ago (or thereabouts), but it’s fair to say that many who’ll be playing the upcoming S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl aren’t going to go in with too much familiarity with its predecessors, if only thanks to how long it has been since the series’ last instalment. There’s a good chance, then, that many are going to be surprised by what kind of experience it’s going to be.
Because as those who’ve played past games – or those who’ve been paying attention to what developer GSC Game World has shown of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 prior to launch – will tell …
According to a recent report from A Bola, Premier League side Manchester United have officially opened talks with Sporting Lisbon regarding a potential move for Bruno Fernandes. The midfielder has already scored 23 goals this season, and is considered to be one of the primary targets for the Red Devils in the upcoming summer transfer window.
He has been with Sporting since back in 2017, when he made the move over from Sampdoria. Since then he has been arguably their star player as both a goalscoring midfielder and a midfield general.
Fernandes, who is also a Portugal international, has been turning heads for quite some time now, with Liverpool and Chelsea also being interested in acquiring his signature.
However, United’s interest could depend on whether or no…
Pep Guardiola believes he would struggle to find a better club than Manchester City, but he still will not discuss his long-term future at the Etihad Stadium.
The Spaniard s contract with the Premier League champions expires at the end of this campaign, by which point he will have had seven years at the helm.
In that period, he has four league titles, four EFL Cups and one FA Cup, although the Champions League crown he was brought in to help secure continues to elude him.
Guardiola s stay at City now matches the time he spent at former clubs Barcelona and Bayern Munich combined, and he acknowledges his working conditions could hardly be better.
[Would I] stay in another place for seven years? No, I don t think so, he told The Athletic. It is difficult to…
