If your defending Rooney just cos Roy Keane did that there’s seriously something wrong with you. That was utterly disgrace. — Egill Gudjohnsen (@UtdEgill) September 27, 2014
Rooney’s a disgrace of a capt.Game where we look shaky & trying to restore confidence after Leicester, 2 debutants in defence & he does that — TacheyDelBosque (@TacheyDelBosque) September 27, 2014

Rooney will now no doubt miss three games, and although Louis van Gaal has a plethora of attacking options to choose from, United will surely miss their captain.
