Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has been charged by the FA for using abusive language and now faces a two game ban. The England forward issued a formal apology following his foul-mouthed celebration at West Ham on Saturday, which he claimed came "in the heat of the moment" after he completed a match-turning treble, and insisted "was not aimed at anyone in particular". The 25-year-old faces a possible two-match suspension, meaning he could miss the Premier League leaders' home match against Fulham on Saturday and then the highly-anticipated tie with Manchester City on April 16. He apologized following his foul-mouthed outburst, which came after he completed his hat-trick with a penalty in Saturday's 4-2 victory at West Ham and was shown around the world on television. Broadcaster Sky Sports issued an on-air apology at the time, the UK Press Association reported.
