RED MIST ... Wayne Rooney looks dejected after being sent off
ALEX FERGUSON has leapt to the defence of Wayne Rooney, claiming the striker's temperament has IMPROVED in recent years.
The Manchester United boss admits he has not seen the incident that saw his player sent off for kicking an opponent in England's 2-2 qualifying draw with Montenegro on Friday night.But he did text Rooney over the weekend about the red card, and has been told it was a reaction rather than pre-meditated.
Ferguson said: "I think he is showing tremendous improvement in terms of his temperament in the last few years.
"But maturity brings other things and he is improving all the time.
"I texted him and he never got back to me. I didn't see it but I was told it was a reaction — to my mind it is not the worst thing in the world."
