Rooney to escape FA investigation

Wayne Rooney
Rooney was yellow carded against his former club at Goodison Park

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney will not be charged by the Football Association for kissing his club's badge during the 1-1 draw at Everton.

The 23-year-old England star made his gesture, which could have been regarded as inflammatory, after earning a yellow card for a tackle on Mikel Arteta.

Rooney was taken off shortly after the incident, with boss Sir Alex Ferguson saying it was for his own good.

The FA has confirmed it will not be taking any further action.

After the match, Ferguson accused referee Alan Wiley of failing to protect his players.
