‘Disappointed’ Rooney makes peace with Ronaldo

WAYNE ROONEY admits he was “disappointed” by Manchester United team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo’s actions during the controversial World Cup quarter-final between England and Portugal but has forgiven him.

Rooney was sent off for stamping on Ricardo Carvalho as Portugal knocked England out on penalties and Ronaldo’s provocative behaviour caused outrage in the aftermath of the match.

The Portuguese winger was seen shoving his head into Rooney’s before the match and encouraging referee Horacio Elizondo to send the England striker off after the Carvalho incident.
