Man Utd striker Rooney: It was a reality check for me

Kim Morten Nielsen was the ref who sent Rooney off for clapping in his face three years ago.

He said: “It was a reality check for me. It was a ridiculous thing to do. That was a big turning point for me. I have learned from that. I made sure I did.”

That is the only red card Rooney has got for United.
