Abstrakt: 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 yesterday received a huge boost in their hunt for new owners after resolving a £40million claim against them by Middlesbrough — has sought to clarify his remarks in a bid to avoid FA action. Speaking about a 2006 match at Chelsea, Rooney had said: 'I always wore the old plastic studs with the metal tip. For that game I changed them to big, long metal ones because I wanted to try and hurt someone, try and injure someone. The studs were legal but thinking if there's a challenge there, I knew I'd want to go in for it properly. I did actually. John Terry left the stadium on crutches.' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
