Man Utd Appeal
Friday, 11 August 2006.
The FA can confirm that Manchester United have submitted claims for wrongful dismissal regarding Wayne Rooney and Paul Scholes.
Rooney and Scholes were sent off for violent conduct and serious foul play respectively during the pre-season friendly against Porto in Amsterdam on Friday 4 August.
Both offences carry a three-match suspension, which would come into effect from Wednesday 23 August, 14 days on from the day The FA received the match officials' report from the Dutch FA.
A Discplinary Commission will consider the claims next week on the basis of video footage and any other documentary evidence the club provides.
