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.
"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."
