**[Rooney][7]** was spared a violent conduct charge following the clash with
|
|
the Wigan midfielder on Saturday after referee Mark Clattenburg claimed in his
|
|
match report that he had taken the necessary action by awarding a free-kick to
|
|
the home side.
|
|
|
|
Whelan, the Wigan chairman, claimed that United are treated 'a little bit
|
|
differently' by the game's authorities.
|
|
|
|
And **[Manchester City][8]** manager Mancini said he believed United's 'big
|
|
club' status helped Rooney avoid a suspension. "For me, it was a red card."
|
|
Mancini said. "It was his [Rooney's] fault and I'm surprised at this decision.
|
|
|
|
"The referee was there, but I think that this happens in every country. It's
|
|
normal that the big club usually has different treatment.
|
|
|
|
"Sometimes the referee can make a mistake, but for me it was a red card, the
|
|
same as everyone. But maybe the referee saw it in a different way, this can
|
|
happen sometimes."

City's Mario Balotelli failed to overturn a red card at West Bromwich and
|
|
although Mancini refused to point to the Italian's three-game ban as an
|
|
example of double standards, he said that the controversial forward receives
|
|
harsh treatment from officials.
|
|
|
|
"With Mario, he made a mistake [at West Brom], but eight yellow cards for him
|
|
is too much."
|
|
|
|
However, Wigan captain Gary Caldwell insists that there was no appetite within
|
|
the dressing room to see Rooney suspended.
|
|
|
|
"If Rooney was banned and missed a game against a team round about us in the
|
|
league, and United dropped points, Wigan could end up being punished twice,"
|
|
Caldwell said.
|
|
|
|
"If we'd have got the decision at the time in the game, 10 minutes in, then
|
|
great. That would have helped us a lot.
|
|
|
|
"But after the event, nothing's going to affect Wigan, so I'm not really
|
|
bothered what happens to Wayne Rooney or Manchester United.
|
|
|
|
"James was being young and honest and brave. He took [the elbow] and didn't
|
|
react, but I think any footballer would tell you that, if things like that
|
|
happen you have to be cute and know how to react to the situation."
