Redknapp feels let down by Man Utd striker Rooney over England red

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp felt let down by Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney over his red card in Montenegro.

Redknapp feels Rooney's suspension could cost England dear in the Euros next year.

He told The Sun: "I was thinking how mature he looked and how the situation involving his dad and his uncle had clearly not affected him and he had moved on.

"But a likely two-game ban at the start of the Euro 2012 finals is a massive, massive blow for England.

"He just cannot go around doing that sort of thing. We thought we'd seen the last of it but I guess he had his angry head on after all.

"Rooney is a ferocious competitor for Manchester United and for England but there has to be a line.

"It's hugely disappointing. He could be missing for the entire group stage and the rush of blood could end up costing him and England dearly."
