Wayne Rooney has threatened to go on strike over his three match ban enforced by the FA.

The Manchester United star and his agent Paul Stretford have written a letter to the FA saying that Rooney feels �extremely let down� by the their decision to enforce the ban.

Rooney was sent off during a the pre-season Amsterdam tournament for an innocuous hand off of an opposition player.

He now says that he will refuse to take part in any of England�s off the field commercial activities.

The letter from Stretford apparently says: "I am writing on behalf of my client to express his utter dismay at the decision not to overturn the ban.�

"While he will continue, if selected, to play for his country with pride and commitment, he is considering withdrawing his support for the FA's commercial programme.

"In other words, he will not allow his image to be used or exploited, or participate in personal appearances for and on behalf of the FA's commercial partners unless he is satisfied with how the FA conducts its affairs in regard to player matters."

The FA is yet to comment on the letter.
