Wayne Rooney could face an awkward grilling from Manchester United chiefs after being caught in a boxing controversy with Stoke defender Phil Bardsley.
The Manchester United captain donned boxing gloves along with Bardsley, both of whom are big boxing fans, during a jovial night-in only to find himself on the receiving end of a heavy punch from his Premier League rival.
Rooney is said to have been visibly shaken by the blow during the incident, which is understood to have taken place earlier this year. The pair are former United team-mates, Bardsley leaving Old Trafford for Sunderland in 2008.
The incident could leave Rooney with some uncomfortable questions to answer from United chiefs over his choice of extra-curricular activities.
