    Double ban rocks United

    15 Aug 2006 - 17:38:18

    Manchester United duo Wayne Rooney and Paul Scholes have both been handed three-match suspensions for their sendings-off in the pre-season friendly against FC Porto.

    The pair are both free to face Fulham in the Red Devils' Premiership opener this weekend, but will then be sidelined for clashes with Charlton Athletic, Watford and Tottenham Hotspur.

    Rooney was shown a straight red card for the use of the elbow on Porto defender Pepe, while Scholes was dismissed for a challenge from behind on Portugal international midfielder Ricardo Quaresma.

    United had lodged appeals for wrongful dismissal, but the Football Association have backed the initial decisions made by referee Ruud Bossen and banned both men for three games.
