Rooney was quoted by British media on Monday as saying he was 'gobsmacked' to have been sent off.

"I want to say absolutely categorically that I did not intentionally put my foot down on Carvalho," the 20-year-old said.

"When the referee produced the red card I was amazed -- gobsmacked.

"I bear no ill feeling to Cristiano but am disappointed he chose to get involved," Rooney added.
