Uefa rule out Rooney punishment
| Rooney was not punished by the referee for his tackle on Risgard
| Uefa says it will not punish Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney over his clash with Aalborg's Kasper Risgard. The Danish defender claimed the England international stamped on him during the 2-2 Champions League draw at Old Trafford on 10 December. Uefa assessed the incident after it was missed by referee Laurent Duhamel but decided no action was required. Rooney, 23, faced a three-match ban had he been found guilty by European football's governing body.
