Wayne Rooney insists he bears no grudge against Manchester United team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo after their World Cup clash. The Portuguese winger had demanded action from the referee after a foul by the England striker, for which he received a red card. Ronaldo, who winked at his team-mates after the sending off, was also accused of trying to wind-up Rooney before kick off.
But Rooney, in a serialisation of his autobiography in the Mail on Sunday, insisted Ronaldo had not baited him.

said the pair were talking about United clubmate Quinton Fortune.
Rooney said: "First of all, in the tunnel, we wished each other good luck in the game, hoped it went well, which is what you say to a team-mate.
"Ok, he wasn't in my team that day but you still wish a fellow professional a good game.
"Then he asked me if I'd heard where Quinton Fortune was going. I said no, did he know where he was going? Quinton's a friend and clubmate of both of us and he was reported to be leaving United.
"Neither us knew the latest. So that was it. We said good luck to each other, once more. And then the game began."
After his sending off in the quarter final defeat, Rooney, 20, pushed Ronaldo.
He said: "I was disappointed by Ronny trying to get me carded and I gave him a bit of a push in the chest. But that was it."
Rooney also dismissed suggestions he will exact revenge when Manchester United resume training.
He said: "By protesting to the ref, Ronny was doing what he thought was good for his country.
"During that game, we were rivals, which was why I gave him a push when I thought he'd been out of order. But once it was all over, we were friends, clubmates once again. It was all forgotten."
He said that on the way back to the England hotel he sent Ronaldo a text message.
"I told him to forget about what happened. I wasn't blaming him for interfering.
"Then I wished him and Portugal good luck in the semis and hoped they got to the final. And I meant it."
aye , and i will captain the space shuttle next week
