Roberto Mancini will appeal Vincent Kompany's red card. Posted: 10 Jan 2012 02:47 PM PST Wayne Rooney has hit back at Roberto Mancini after the Manchester City boss blamed him for Vincent Kompany's dismissal in United's FA Cup win on Sunday. Mancini pointed the finger at Rooney after the United striker waved an imaginary card at referee Chris Foy in the aftermath of Kompany's two-footed lunge at Nani. Kompany was shown a straight red card and must now serve a four- match ban, but Rooney has denied that he influenced Foy's decision in his side's 3-2 win at the Etihad. Rooney, who bagged two goals in the third round thriller, tweeted: "Funny how people think i got kompany sent off. Im not ref. i didnt give red card. But it was a clear red card. 2 footed tackle." Mancini, who confirmed the club will appeal against the decision, had said: "It was not a red card. Rooney told him his decision. He was near the referee." The Italian was himself criticised last week for waving an imaginary card during the 3-0 win over Liverpool in reaction to Martin Skrtel's foul on Yaya Toure. He added: "When I did this against Liverpool, people told me not to do it. I said I was sorry and made a mistake. Today...maybe if you look at it."
