James Milner spat with Wayne Rooney agent over birthday party behaviour

Manchester City midfielder James Milner had a row with United strikerWayne Rooney's agent Paul Stretford to add spice to Saturday's FA Cup semi-final between the Manchester rivals. The pair exchanged angry words after Milner warned Stretford about his behaviour at team-mate Gareth Barry's 30th birthday. Their spat followed a verbal disagreement between Stretford's wife Gemma and Milner's girlfriend at the party in Cheshire, attended by several members of the City squad.

Rooney's agent then called Milner the following day to resolve their differences. It is believed Stretford was invited to the party by Barry because their children attend the same nursery. Milner and Stretford were both unavailable for comment.  Roberto Mancini: Watch out United, it's time for City to step upMan Utd 2 Fulham 0: Berbatov and Valencia make up for Fergie's Grand National disappointmentAll the latest Manchester United news, features and opinionAll the latest Manchester City news, features and opinion  Explore more:People: Wayne Rooney, James Milner, Gareth Barry, Paul Stretford Places: Manchester
