Twitter was shocked Wayne Rooney wasn’t sent-off and received the MOTM award

Say what you want about Wayne Rooney's performances, but they're never boring.

The Manchester United and England captain is one of the most high profile players in the Premier League, and his performances are bound to be significantly scrutinised. However, Rooney's display against Chelsea during United's goalless draw at Old Trafford resulted in more talking points than usual. Firstly, there was the late challenge on Oscar, which everyone bar the BT pundits covering the game, Rio Ferdinand, Paul Scholes and Steven Gerrard, seemed to think should've been a straight red card. Even Howard Webb, the former referee who gained a reputation of rarely sending players off at Old Trafford, thought Rooney should've been sent-off. https://twitter.com/SwissRamble/status/681555633540329473 https://twitter.com/babafemi_FX/status/681555050909560832 https://twitter.com/grahamruthven/status/681554746629615616 https://twitter.com/andrewcoster28/status/681557250322882560 https://twitter.com/patmccarry/status/681555840533426176 Rooney, in his post-match interview, apologised for the tackle and said he didn't mean to hurt the Chelsea player. However, it was BT's decision to award Rooney the man of the match award, ahead of teammate David de Gea, that caused most consternation on social media. https://twitter.com/br_uk/status/681558835249713157 https://twitter.com/CiaranLen/status/681556275700842499 https://twitter.com/EoinMcDevitt/status/681554867702358017 https://twitter.com/FootyAccums/status/681555856480186370 https://twitter.com/BusbyMUFC/status/681555292375674880 https://twitter.com/Tigermilk20/status/681558923510452224 https://twitter.com/TheUtdReview/status/681555238185230336 https://twitter.com/Nashat_Hassan/status/681555259894968326 https://twitter.com/DanSCoop1/status/681555391193444353
