Rooney recently helped United secure a record 19th league title
Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has told a
Twitter follower: "I'll put u asleep within 10 seconds" after being
provoked on the social networking site.
The 25-year-old England star, who has a following of over 570,000, was replying to an abusive tweet on Tuesday.
Rooney suggested a meeting at the training ground, tweeting:
"hope u turn up if u don't gonna tell everyone ur scared u little nit.
I'll be waiting."
In an effort to defuse the situation, Rooney tweeted: "Haha bit of banter".
The Twitter account belonging to the follower who taunted Rooney was subsequently deleted.
A number of footballers have already been reprimanded for inappropriate use of Twitter this season.
West Ham striker Carlton Cole was recently charged by the Football Association for improper conduct for remarks made during England's 1-1 draw with Ghana at Wembley in March.
While Liverpool striker Ryan Babel was fined £10,000 for a Twitter post and
warned about his future conduct after being linked to a mocked-up
picture of referee Howard Webb in a Manchester United shirt after a 1-0
defeat at Old Trafford in the FA Cup.
Rooney was banned for two matches in April after accepting a Football Association charge for swearing into a TV camera after scoring a hat-trick at West Ham.
On Wednesday night at the Manchester United awards, Rooney's
overhead kick against Manchester City at Old Trafford in February was
the clear choice for goal of the season.
Portuguese winger Nani received the players' player of the
year award, while Javier Hernandez was voted fans' player of the year.

I saw something like this coming the moment he signed up to twitter, the guy is going to get himself banned because he's a lunatic. 
Shouldn't have said that, shouldn't respond to people like that.

Guy deserves it. 
Stupid thing to say though. Especially after the crap with which so many others have been charged.

I'm absolutely disgusted at this. What a vile man, no wonder society is the way it is.
Back in my day you could go down the shop without fear of being threatened but people like Rooney have ruined that.

The guy threatend Rooney first calling him a "fat whore" and that he would "kill him with a pitching wedge" but the newspaper article just leaves that out as usual.

The media didn't make Rooney say what he did.

It's not racism, it's ethnic banter.

February
Rooney pushes aside Wigan player with who is trying to obstruct him with his arm. Referee sees the incident and punishes Rooney with a free kick. Outrage! Scandal! Media campaign for a 3-5 game ban.
March
Ferguson criticises referee after being robbed in Chelsea game, media campaign, extremely long ban (Wenger got less for physically attacking a referee).
April
Rooney says a swear word in a match while celebrating a goal, whole fucking world implodes, 2 game ban for using foul and abusive language, first player ever to be banned for such a thing
May
Ferguson says that Man Utd don't get favourable decisions in big games. Patrick Barclay of The Times calls for a 10 game touchline ban.
Ferguson says Howard Webb is a good referee, media report him to the Football Association, charged with improper conduct
Horrible scrotbag insults Rooney on Twitter, Rooney responds in kind, articles in 4, 5 different media outlets. Improper conduct charge on its way? I wouldn't bet against it.
