Rooney rejects 'undeserved' 2012 Premier League winners' medal offer

Original: 'I don't want it!' - Man Utd legend Wayne Rooney REJECTS 'undeserved' 2012 Premier League winners' medal giveaway as Man City face unprecedented title-stripping threat

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has turned down the suggestion he should receive a 2012 Premier League winners' medal, dismissing it as undeserved after Manchester City pipped United to the title on goal difference. The gesture came amid renewed scrutiny of City, who face an unprecedented threat of having titles stripped over ongoing financial rule allegations, which could reopen the outcome of the dramatic 2012 season.

Why now: Manchester City face a possible points deduction or title-stripping over financial charges, prompting debate about past titles including 2012.
