Man United legend Wayne Rooney

The English Football Association (FA) has sought observations from Derby County manager Wayne Rooney after he said in a recent interview that as a player he wanted to injure an opponent during a game in 2006, British media reported.

Former Manchester United forward Rooney told the Mail On Sunday that he wore longer studs in a game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge because he โ€œwanted to hurt someoneโ€.
โ€œI changed my studs before the game,โ€ Rooney said. โ€œI put longer studs in because I wanted to hurt someone.โ€
โ€œThe studs were legal,โ€ he added. โ€œThey were a legal size. But they were bigger than what I would normally wear.โ€
Rooney and John Terry clashed during the game, with the Chelsea defender receiving treatment.
United lost the match 3-0, with Chelsea winning the league that season.
