Rooney has been in hot water for some of his actions

The Englishman had got into trouble for showing the ‘V’ sign to Chelsea supporters on 9th May 2011. The striker resorted to showing the vulgar gesture to Blues supporters after they aggravated him in the first half. Rooney, who has a hot temper, then showed the V sign as he was walking towards the tunnel in the break. The FA criticized the striker for his behavior but ultimately did not take action against him.
