Soccer: Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney will not face any disciplinary action over an apparent stamp on Aalborg's Kasper Risgard during last week's Champions League fixture.

European governing body Uefa decided not to charge Rooney after studying video evidence of the incident in the clubs' 2-2 draw at Old Trafford on Wednesday.

Aalborg midfielder Risgard claimed Rooney should have been sent off after "jumping" on his chest and leaving marks on his body.

Rooney could have faced a suspension for part of the knockout stages had Uefa decided to take action.

A spokesman said: "Uefa will not open any disciplinary proceedings against Wayne Rooney."

Rooney's United team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo will not face any disciplinary action after kicking out at Tottenham's Michael Dawson at the weekend.

Ronaldo was seen to aim a little flick at Dawson after being tackled in Saturday's goalless Barclays Premier League draw at White Hart Lane.

Referee Mike Dean, who did not take action during the game, has looked at the incident but has not deemed it serious.

An English FA spokesman said: "We contacted the referee, who confirmed he didn't see the incident at the time and, having reviewed footage, he has also confirmed he would not have sent the player off for violent conduct had he seen it.

"On that basis, no further action will be taken."
