Following Man United’s 4-0 win, the TV cameras picked up on Evans appearing to reject Rooney’s offer of his jersey to the 22-year-old.
Consequently, some media outlets suggested Rooney had been ‘snubbed,’ with the three years Evans spent at Man City before moving to the Championship club cited as a potential reason for the perceived rejection.
However, Evans subsequently moved to clear up the incident on Twitter, explaining that he wanted to exchange jerseys with Rooney away from the public eye rather than on the field owing to his side’s disappointing performance.
