  "account": "Wayne Rooney has expressed his discontent with the possibility of Manchester United receiving medals if Manchester City's titles are stripped away due to financial misconduct. Rooney, a five-time Premier League title winner, admitted he wouldn't feel comfortable accepting another title if he had won it while his team finished second. He emphasized that United didn't do enough in the 2012 season to secure the championship. Rooney also mentioned that he would be heartbroken if his club's medals were taken away for factors beyond their control. Should City face punishments, including the stripping of their titles, Rooney believes they may be justified. However, he would not feel comfortable accepting a medal in such a situation, as he doesn't consider their team to have deserved it.",
  "summary": "Manchester City are reported to have been found guilty of the vast majority of 115 financial misconduct charges brought against them by the Premier League.",
