Wayne Rooney has been called out for his FA Cup dive by Wade Barrett
Rooney secured an 88th minute penalty for Manchester United after being brought down in the box by Preston goalkeeper Thorsten Stuckmann.
However, the Red Devils skipper was quickly criticised for his dive that secured the FA Cup win for the Red Devils.
And Preston-born wrestler Barrett has warned Rooney that he won't need to dive when he catches up with him.

However, Rooney called for WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin to help him out.
And unsurpisingly, Barrett has not backed away from the challenge, inviting the England captain to wrestling's grandest stage of all – Wrestlemania.
