Wayne Rooney Apologises To Family And Derby County Over Online Images

Wayne Rooney has apologised to his family and Derby County over images that surfaced online of him at a private party.

The pictures garnered attention on social media on Sunday, appearing to show the Derby County manager asleep in a hotel room surrounded by a group of young women.

Cheshire Police confirmed on Tuesday they would not be taking action against a complaint of blackmail made regarding the images, after Rooney's representatives believed there had been an illicit attempt to entrap him.

"I made a mistake," Rooney told Sky Sports News after his side's friendly victory against Real Betis on Wednesday evening.

"I went to a private party with two of my friends and from me, I'd like to apologise to my family and the club for the images which were going round and I want to move forward on this.
