Did Laser Distract Rooney?

Was Wayne Rooney distracted by a laser pen as he failed to score from the spot for Manchester United against Middlesbrough?

That was the question being asked on Thursday morning after Sky Sports News HQ showed footage of a green light being shone onto the face of the United skipper as he stepped up to take their first kick of the penalty shoot-out.

His effort was saved by Middlesbrough goalkeeper Tomas Mejias and United crashed out of the Capital One Cup as Michael Carrick and Ashley Young also failed to convert from the spot, following a 0-0 draw in normal time.
