The Manchester United striker had been accused of deliberating stepping on Aalborg's Kasper Risgard during a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford last week.

The Danish midfielder insisted the England international should have been sent off for 'jumping' on his chest and leaving bruising on his body.

However, Uefa have decided no charges will be brought against Rooney after studying the incident on video.

The United ace will, therefore, be available for the Red Devils as they enter the knockout stages of Europe's premier club competition.

A spokesman said: "Uefa will not open any disciplinary proceedings against Wayne Rooney."
