London  - UEFA confirmed Monday that Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney will not face any disciplinary action over an alleged stamp on AaB's Kasper Risgard last week.

The incident occurred during United's 2-2 draw against the Danish champions on December 10.

Rooney's studs clearly landed on Risgard's chest, but UEFA decided the contact was accidental.

A spokesman said: "UEFA will not open any disciplinary proceedings against Wayne Rooney." (dpa)
