Man Utd No2 Phelan hopes there is no Rooney witch hunt

Manchester United No2 Mike Phelan hopes there isn't a witch hunt against Wayne Rooney.

Rooney was caught on camera appearing to elbow Wigan Athletic's James McCarthy on Saturday.

"I don't know whether there should be a witch hunt," Phelan said. "The referee saw what he saw and he kept the game rolling.

"We can't dispute a referee's decision. He is out there on the field to take charge of the situation."
