The story about Manchester City’s rule-breaking is not going away anytime soon. In fact, the situation is just heating up. After the first news initially broke, City’s executives claimed their innocence once again and promised a long legal battle with the Premier League. The rest of the world however is already talking about potential punishment for the club, which ranges from only a financial fine, to points losing, relegation and stripping the titles off. Former Manchester United players have posted in recent days and either claimed some of those titles or just aimed dig at their arch-rivals.##LINKED_NEWS_69406##However, there is one famous player who wouldn’t, if the opportunity came, take those titles and claim them. Wayne Rooney was United’s captain and played at Old Trafford in those days when City won the title, but has a different opinion.“I wouldn't really feel comfortable accepting another Premier League medal, if I'm being honest. I don't think we deserve it, we didn't do enough that season to win the league. I think we were six or seven points clear with four or five games to go and we threw it away” he said to Stick To United.##LINKED_NEWS_69344##Rooney then game a more detailed explanation of his words, which surely sounded strange.“I've seen everything that has come out over the past few days and listening to people and I was putting myself in a Man City player's shoes… they're players, they're doing everything they can to try and win the Premier League title and in their mind they have done it, if those players have no understanding of what is going on above them, if that happened to me… I would be absolutely devastated. It might happen, they might take them medals away, but I wouldn't want it because I don't think as a team we deserved it that year because obviously we didn't finish first. So when I see team-mates saying "I want a medal", I'm happy with the five I've won. I wouldn't want this one. Should they get it stripped for what the owners have done? Yeah maybe, but I wouldn't feel comfortable accepting it” concluded Rooney.UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE – DIVISION AGroup 3Tuesday21.45: (7.25) Czech R.
