Wayne Rooney doubles down on taking away Man City titles after ’12 week’ charges update

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has reiterated that he would not feel comfortable accepting a retrospective Premier League winners' medal if Manchester City are stripped of their titles. Speaking on Match of the Day, Rooney addressed the ongoing situation regarding Manchester City's charges, stating that his former side did not finish first on the pitch and therefore did not deserve the championship.

Manchester City have appealed an independent commission's ruling after being found guilty of multiple Premier League charges, maintaining their innocence. Fellow Match of the Day pundit Toby Alderweireld referenced an estimated 12-week appeals process, expressing hope for a swift resolution for the benefit of football.
