"There is an element of Wayne's reputation going before him.

"I do not know what the referee was thinking because only a minute before that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was elbowed and he didn't even warn the player.

"I do not see the difference between what the Porto player did and what Wayne did apart from one of the players is called Wayne Rooney.

"Wayne was surprised.

"It was unfair because their player made a meal of the situation but unfortunately that sort of thing is endemic in our game now."

Scholes and Rooney could be suspended for the start of the season but this depends on the FA.


Rooney:

"I thought the ref was going to give a foul on me because of the defender backing in.

"I can't believe he sent me off."
