Wayne Rooney, Manchester United’s all-time top scorer, has taken a surprisingly lenient stance when it comes to reviewing the crimes of Manchester City during his playing career. Suffice to say, his former teammates have not taken the same stance.
Three years after the Premier League first accused City of more than 100 breaches of rules relating to financial regulations, the side from the blue half of Manchester have now been found officially guilty by an independent commission. The Premier League gleefully reported the news with a stinging statement but Rooney, whose Manchester United side were denied the 2011–12 top-flight title by City on goal difference, used far softer language.
