Video: ‘I made a mistake’ – Wayne Rooney apologises to his family and Derby County after lurid social media images went viral

Wayne Rooney's Derby are under immense pressure

It hasn’t been the best of weeks for Derby County manager, Wayne Rooney, after images of him and scantily clad young women were plastered all over the internet and in every newspaper, however, the former Man United star has attempted to mitigate the damage by making a sincere apology.

In a post-match interview on Wednesday evening, Rooney didn’t want to dwell on any questions about the episode last weekend, but looked to make amends as he apologised to his family and to Derby themselves.
