Was Rooney dropped because of his off-field indiscipline?

And then Moyes offered a hint about the mindset of his respected friend Ferguson. “I don’t think you should put it all on the crowd,” said the Everton manager. 
“The manager there knows what he’s doing and I’m sure he did what he thought was right.
“Maybe he was just making sure everybody realises that if you play for Manchester United you have to conduct yourself in a certain manner.”

His explanation clearly indicates that Ferguson has punished Rooney for his misdemeanor by dropping him for one game. If this were true, then in-hindsight the decision does seem to been a costly one
