Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has concerns over a
lengthy ban after his two yellow cards against Fulham on
Saturday.
The Daily Mail says Rooney was sent off by referee Phil
Dowd a minute from the end of their second successive league defeat
and remonstrated with the official after he was shown a red
card.
The United striker confronted Dowd and jabbed his finger towards
the official's face, clearly shouting to him that he was 'only
giving the f*****g ball back' when he hurled it towards Ryan
Giggs.
Dowd is expected to include details of the incident in his
report to the FA and it means Rooney could be handed an extra
one-game suspension if Soho Square decide to clamp down.
His dismissal for two yellow cards means he will miss United's
clash with Aston Villa at Old Trafford on April 5, but he could
also sit out the following game against Sunderland on April 11.
The United striker had already been booked for tugging at
Olivier Dacourt's shorts and was given another yellow card for
dissent when he hurled the ball in the direction of Dowd.
