Rooney and Scholes both scored before being sent off against Porto
Manchester United duo Wayne Rooney and Paul Scholes have both had their appeals against three-match bans rejected by the Football Association. The pair were dismissed in a pre-season friendly against Porto for violent conduct and serious foul play by Dutch referee Ruud Bossen on 4 August.
The bans start on 23 August, allowing Rooney and Scholes to play in United's opening league game against Fulham.
But they will miss the fixtures against Charlton, Watford and Tottenham.
fine...really fine
