However, the police confirmed on Tuesday that they will not be taking any action on Rooney’s complaint of blackmail. The United legend has not spoken out, saying he just wants to move on from the incident. He apologized to his family and to the club, whose image he represents. Rooney told Sky Sports after his team’s preseason win against Spaniards, Real Betis;
I made a mistake. 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. I’m grateful to Derby County for giving me this opportunity to get this club back to where it belongs, and I’ll do everything in my power to make sure I do that. It’s dealt with. I’m looking forward to moving forward and preparing for another game on Sunday.
