FA may hit Man Utd's Rooney with Everton taunt charge
-
The Mail on Sunday says Rooney faces the threat of a Football Association charge for inciting fans of former club Everton by kissing his Manchester United badge during yesterday's stormy 1-1 draw at Goodison Park.
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson admitted he had immediately substituted Rooney because he feared the England striker would be sent off, but that prompt action may not be enough to save the player from disciplinary action.
After enduring an afternoon of abuse from the supporters who once idolised him, Rooney's suspect temperament erupted again in the 69th minute after he was booked by referee Alan Wiley for a foul on Mikel Arteta.
When the Everton fans responded with their loudest barracking yet, Rooney responded by kissing the United badge on his shirt. Wiley immediately ran over to speak to Rooney, but Ferguson had seen enough and replaced him with Nani two minutes later. -
ROONEY!ROONEY!ROONEY!

If it's only a fine, that taunt was well worth it!

Rooney gets sweet FA for kiss
The FA will take no action against Manchester United's Wayne Rooney for his badge-kissing antics at Goodison Park on Saturday.
Sir Alex Ferguson admitted he substituted Rooney for his own good at the weekend after the striker became increasingly frustrated during United's 1-1 draw with Everton in the Premier League.
Rooney was booked for a foul on Mikel Arteta and, with tempers starting to fray, Ferguson hauled the England man off.
He responded by kissing his badge, a move which clearly could be regarded as inflammatory at his former club.
However, the Football Association have confirmed they will not be investigating the matter further as referee Alan Wiley saw the incident at the time and had a quiet word with Rooney.
