Manchester United issued the following statement on Thursday morning in response to the decision to uphold Wayne Rooney's two-match suspension.

"Manchester United is clearly very disappointed with the Regulatory Commission's decision.

"The Club put forward a very strong case to have the punishment reduced, which was unsuccessful.

"Wayne Rooney apologised immediately after the match and the Club now wishes to move to on to what hopefully will be a very exciting conclusion to the season."

Moments later, Wayne issued his personal reaction to the decision and declared his dismay at having to miss two domestic games.

"I am gutted to miss two matches, one of which is an FA Cup semi-final at Wembley. I am not the first player to have sworn on TV and I won’t be the last.

"Unlike others who have been caught swearing on camera, I apologised immediately. And yet I am the only person banned for swearing. That doesn’t seem right.

"Whatever, I have to accept that what’s happened has happened and move on from here. That’s what I intend to do."

Wayne Rooney.

Man Utd have been drawn against Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League quarter finals, with the advantage that the Reds are at home for the second leg of the all-English tie.

It's also a repeat, of course, of 2008's Moscow final in which United triumphed on penalties against the Blues at the city's Luznhiki Stadium. The Reds head to Stamford Bridge for the first leg on Wednesday 6 April and the second leg at OT on Tuesday 12 April.

The full quarter-final draw is as follows:

Real Madrid vs Tottenham Hotspur
Chelsea vs Manchester United
Barcelona vs Shakhtar Donetsk
Inter Milan vs Schalke

The draw for the semi-finals was also made on Friday, meaning if United beat Chelsea then a tie against either Inter Milan or Schalke awaits Sir Alex’s men, again with the second tie being played at Old Trafford.

The semi-final draw is as follows:

Inter or Schalke vs Chelsea or United
Real Madrid or Tottenham Hotspur vs Barcelona or Shakhtar Donetsk

If Man Utd make it to the semi-finals then the first leg against Inter or Schalke will be away on Tuesday 26 April, with the return tie at Old Trafford on Wednesday 4 May. The final will, of course, be played at Wembley on 28 May.
