Former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney says Manchester United would not “deserve” Premier League titles if Manchester City are stripped of them following financial-rule breaches.
Rooney’s comments come amid reporting that City are found guilty of most, or a vast majority, of 115 charges related to misconduct under Premier League financial regulations. Several outlets cite his view that any retrospective awarding of titles to United would not be appropriate if based solely on City losing points or honours rather than United winning them on the pitch.
Across the sources, the central focus is Rooney’s position that United should not receive medals or titles in a scenario where City’s offences lead to those sanctions. While the reports differ slightly in phrasing, they consistently reference City facing the Premier League’s charges and Rooney’s stance that United should not benefit from them being stripped retroactively.
