Wayne Rooney insists his old club Manchester United do not deserve Premier League winners' medals if Manchester City are stripped of their titles for breaking financial rules.

There have also been calls for City to be stripped of their eight Premier League titles won since 2008.&nbsp;Rooney's former United team-mates Rio Ferdinand and David de Gea have said their old club should be awarded retrospective title wins.&nbsp;Also read| <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/karachi-football-team-robbed-balochistan-highway-quetta-1790679144820">Karachi football team robbed on Balochistan highway; gunmen snatch phones and cash</a>&nbsp;Rooney, a five-time title winner, was a member of the United side that finished as runners-up in 2012 after Sergio Aguero's dramatic late winner for City against QPR on the final day of the season. But the ex-England striker does not believe United or any other team should be willing to accept medals after ending in second place.&nbsp;"I wouldn't feel comfortable about accepting another Premier League medal if I'm being honest, because I don't think we deserve it.
