Wayne Rooney has rowed back on his claim he 'wanted to hurt someone' playing for Manchester United against Chelsea – insisting it was just a 'feeling' rather than an actual pre-meditated attack.
The FA contacted the Derby boss this week following his controversial comments in an interview promoting his new Amazon Prime documentary.
But Rooney - whose club have received a huge boost in their hunt for new owners after resolving a £40million claim made against them by Middlesbrough - has sought to clarify his remarks in a bid to avoid FA action.
