Israelian international Ben-Haim appeared to be pushed in the face by Rooney during the first half of yesterday's Premiership match between the two teams.
Referee Dermot Gallagher did not see the incident which was caught on TV replays, but Ben-Haim has chosen to stay silent on the incident on a what he describes as being a "sad day" of events.
"It's been a sad day overall, With what happened in Asia, the fact we didn't win or take any points from the game and even the incident overshadowed my performance. My manager spoke about it and that is all I'm willing to say." Ben-Haim told Israeli News.
Meanwhile the Football Association have confirmed that they will have their own investigation into the incident on Wednesday.
