Rooney Rejects Calls for Man United to Inherit Man City’s 2012 Premier League Title

Wayne Rooney says he would not feel comfortable accepting the 2011-12 Premier League title if Manchester City are stripped of it. The former Manchester United striker says his side did not do enough to win the league that season. United beat Sunderland on the final day and briefly thought they had secured the title after City fell behind to QPR. However, goals from Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero gave City a dramatic comeback victory and the title on goal difference. Rooney’s position differs from former teammates Rio Ferdinand and David de Gea, who have joked about receiving another winners’ medal. Rooney also said City players should not be blamed for any possible punishment linked to actions outside their control.
