FA to take retrospective action?

Wayne Rooney’s club teammate Ashley Young has been the most popular target for claims about diving and simulation in Manchester, but it seems that the United skipper might be picking up a few lessons in the ‘dark arts’ if this footage from WWE Raw in Manchester is anything to go by.

England’s record goalscorer was just one of the many faces in the crowd tonight but his ringside appearance didn’t go unnoticed. Take a look as Sheamus and Wade Barrett slam United’s captain for being a failure. The wrestlers said that the only two people that were made of championship material were standing in the ring.

Rather than call Louis Van Gaal to see if he fancied to set-up a tag team and get revenge, Rooney bides his time before delivering a fatal slap.

Yes, we know it’s not real but this is damn good.

Naturally this slap has been heard all over Twitter.
