Wayne Rooney is relieved the FA probe into his claim he deliberately wanted to injure an opponent is over after escaping with a warning.
Rooney revealed in an Amazon documentary he changed his studs to "long metal ones" when playing for Manchester United at Chelsea in 2006 as he "wanted to try and hurt someone".
United were beaten 3-0 as Chelsea won the Premier League with Blues skipper John Terry leaving the game on crutches after being caught by Rooney.
"We knew if Chelsea won then they had won the league that day," said 36-year-old Rooney.
"Until my last game for Derby, I always wore the old plastic studs with the metal tip.
"For that game I changed them to big, long metal ones - the maximum length you could have because I wanted to try and hurt someone, try and injure someone."
The FA contacted Rooney to seek his observations in relation to the Derby manager’s comments.
But Rooney has revealed the matter is closed after he was given a warning.
He explained: “I came out and spoke my mind that was what I was feeling at that period of time in my life.
“It was a feeling rather than something I was acting upon.
“You can see me and John have gone for a tackle and that was it.
“I am happy it is over and done with.
“I gave my response to the FA.
“They have given me a warning, that is it, the matter is put to bed.
“We move on from that.
“The comments got reported by someone and the FA had to look at it.
“I got a warning and that is it.It is done.”
In 2002, ex-Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane was banned and fined by the FA after a claim in his autobiography that he deliberately set out to hurt Manchester City midfielder Alf Inge Haaland in a game in April 2001.
