Wayne Rooney has admitted that he was involved in an altercation with England fans after the teams Wednesday night 2-0 loss to Croatia.

The Manchester United star was singled out for a barrage of abuse as he walked to the team bus.

Rooney is reported to have gestured a V-sign at one particular fan amongst the group of barrackers.

A spokesman for the FA said: "Any gesture Wayne may have made was directed to one fan, whose behaviour appalled the other England players.

"Wayne has total respect for England fans. He accepts and understands their disappointment at Wednesday's result."

The incident comes as Rooney struggles with his form having only scored two goals this season.
