United claims rejected
Tuesday, 15 August 2006.
At an Independent Disciplinary Commission hearing today, Wayne Rooney and Paul Scholes had claims for wrongful dismissal rejected and will therefore both serve three-match suspensions.
The bans will start from Wednesday 23 August, 14 days on from the day The FA received the match officials' report from the Dutch FA.
Rooney and Scholes were sent off for violent conduct and serious foul play respectively during Manchester United's pre-season friendly against Porto in Amsterdam on Friday 04 August.
