Wayne Rooney has accepted the Football Association's charge for using offensive language during United's win at West Ham on Saturday, but has appealed against his two-match suspension.
The FA confirmed this in the following statement, issued at 6.15pm on Tuesday afternoon:
"Manchester United player Wayne Rooney has today admitted a charge for the use of offensive, insulting and / or abusive language.
"However, Rooney has submitted a claim that the automatic penalty of two games is clearly excessive. A commission will hear the submission tomorrow (Wednesday).
"The charge relates to an incident during his side’s fixture with West Ham United at the Boleyn Ground on Saturday 2 April 2011." Dublin Time. END
