Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney has apologised for his “nasty” tackle on Chelsea midfielder Oscar, a challenge which earned him a booking from referee Martin Atkinson.
Rooney left his foot in on the Brazilian in the latter stages of the match, which finished 0-0 after 90 arduous minutes, picking up a caution in the process. It was a tackle that seemed very reckless in real time, but the forward revealed after the contest it was accidental and apologised to the Blues playmaker.
“It was accidental. I knew straightaway I caught him and could have caused him a bit of damage, so I apologise,” Rooney said.
I apologised on the pitch, nothing was meant and I think the referee saw there was no intention of hurting him. He’s given me a yellow card which I probably deserve,” he added.
t’s been a difficult campaign for Rooney, who has been criticised by many of his own supporters after some poor performances. Usually a player who has a massive influence in general play, he’s been inhibited at times this season, with his passing, touch and dynamism all seeming to seep away.
