Wayne Rooney has escaped a sanction from European football's ruling body UEFA following an alleged stamp in a Champions League match last week.

The Manchester United striker had been accused of stamping on Aalborg's Kasper Risgard during a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford last week.

However after reviewing video evidence UEFA said Monday that no charges would be brought against Rooney.

A spokesman said: “Uefa will not open any disciplinary proceedings against Wayne Rooney.”

It means the England star, who on Monday was given the backing of national team manager Fabio Capello, will be available for United as they enter the knockout stages of Europe's premier club competition.

    Typical. Wayne Rooney, star for England and Manchester United, can do no wrong. This is the ump-teenth time that Rooney has done something that any other player would receive a 3 match ban for. What the fuck? Oh how I hate Man United, they’re like the rich kids on the block that never get in trouble.
