Man Utd ace Rooney: Capello has not had word about discipline

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney says there's been no word from England coach Fabio Capello about his on-field discipline.

Rooney's temperament was called into question prior to the tournament after he received a yellow card against Platinum Stars and a warning from referee Jeff Selogilwe over his future conduct.

But the United frontman insists that he has not had similar instruction from Capello.

"He hasn't mentioned anything to me about my discipline," said Rooney.

"The last time I got booked for England was two or three years ago so I have no problem.

"I was disappointed to get sent off four years ago against Portugal but I have moved on from that.

"I don't think about it at all - I am looking forward to this tournament and not thinking back about any other one."
