The Football Association will take no action against Wayne Rooney for his badge-kissing antics at Goodison Park on Saturday.
Sir Alex Ferguson admitted he substituted Rooney for his own good at the weekend after the striker became increasingly frustrated during Manchester United's 1-1 draw with Everton.
Rooney was booked for a foul on Mikel Arteta and, with tempers starting to fray, Ferguson hauled the England man off.
He responded by kissing his badge, a move which clearly could be regarded as inflammatory at his former club.
However, the FA have confirmed they will not be investigating the matter further as referee Alan Wiley saw the incident at the time and had a quiet word with Rooney.
