Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has highlighted Emmanuel Eboue's booking for diving in their victory over Arsenal last week.

Unless he is successful with his appeal, Arsenal forward Eduardo will have to serve a two-match Champions League suspension for "deceiving the referee" during last week's win over Celtic.

Yet just four days later, team-mate Emmanuel Eboue committed a far more obvious transgression of the rules at Old Trafford and received only the standard yellow card.

"That was clear for everyone to see," said Rooney.

"It is difficult. He got a yellow card but it is not down to me to say whether that is the correct punishment or not.

"In different circumstances you could ask for more but I am sure many big games have been decided by the wrong decisions.

"It's not really down to me to fix. It is down to other people.

"FIFA and UEFA must decide whether they want to take punishments further. As players you just want to play."
