Wayne Rooney's penalty miss angers Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson The miss was Rooney's second of the season, with Robin van Persie, Nani and Javier Hernandez also wasting penalties this campaign, and Ferguson insists that the time has come for the woeful run to stop. Referee Phil Dowd's decision to award the penalty, following a handball by Jordan Spence, prompted an angry reaction from West Ham manager Sam Allardyce, who may now face action from the Football Association after criticising Dowd's failure to award his team a penalty following a handball by United defender Rafael. There was no doubt whatsoever about the difference between Rafael's handball and Jordan Spence's. Allardyce said. Jordan Spence plays for West Ham away against Manchester United and Rafael plays at home at Old Trafford. I've looked at his position for the Rafael one and it is perfect - straight in line with it. He had a worse position for Jordan Spence's. You have got to have courage to play here and you have got to have courage to referee here. Phil Dowd is a hugely experienced referee, but today, he did get it wrong. While Rooney's penalty miss was the downside of the game for Ferguson, the United manager claimed that Ryan Giggs's performance underlined the 39 year-old's ability to play on next season beyond the end of his contract this summer. "He'll play for another year," Ferguson said. There are no discerning signs of tiredness, his quality is still there. He has the appetite for it, too. He's just a fantastic human being. Ferguson added: "Some other players needed a game, Nani, Rooney, Buttner."
