Wayne Rooney takes to Twitter to hit back at TV commentators

Wayne Rooney make a point to referee Neil Swarbrick after being shown a yellow

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney tweeted out his frustration last night against two television commentators who kept saying that he should’ve been sent off for his tackle on Jordon Mutch.

Sky Sports commentator Martin Tyler and pundit Graeme Souness said Rooney was fortunate not to be shown a red card for kicking Jordon Mutch during Manchester United’s 2-2 draw with Cardiff City.

Rooney, who deliberately referred to Souness as “Sourness”, said more attention should have been paid to an incident in the second half in which Cardiff midfielder Gary Medel appeared to slap United’s Marouane Fellaini.

This is what Rooney tweeted -

Just watched game back. I agree mine was bad tackle and ref dealt with it. And Martin Tyler didn't shut up about it all game.

Then someone slaps someone in face and he doesn't speak a word about it. I like Martin but that's poor from him
