Why did it upset some fans when Steven Taylor left the pitch at Old Trafford wearing Wayne Rooney's shirt?

Apparently some were up in arms in the aftermath of the 2-0 defeat against Manchester United, and the Toon defender says "if it upset someone I won't do it again".

Taylor: "I changed shirts with Wayne Rooney and the minute I got in the tunnel I took it off and put it in my bag.

"I know we were beaten 2-0 and I appreciate people might have problems with players changing shirts, that's fair enough, but there was nothing in it.

"I wouldn't do that again if people have problems with it. The last thing I want to do is upset the Newcastle fans. I hope I didn't do any harm with that and I'm sorry if I did."
