Moyes leaps to Rooney's defence

David Moyes has jumped to the defence of under-fire Wayne Rooney and demanded critics look at their own consciences before hounding the teenage star.

Rooney, who will play in his first FA Cup final against Arsenal on Saturday, has seen his lifestyle and behaviour constantly criticised in a season that has seen him become a £27m (€39.2m) Manchester United signing from Everton.
