Ronaldo
moved to United as an 18-year-old from Sporting Lisbon in 2003, while
Rooney left Everton to join the Old Trafford outfit a year later.
The
pair went on to win three Premier League titles, the Champions League
and one FA Cup together, before the Portugal captain joined Real Madrid
in 2009.
Ronaldo admits it’s a shame
he no longer shares the same dressing room as the man he refers to as
“pitbull” and hopes they’re reunited in the future.
“I miss playing with Rooney. Maybe we can play again together some day,” he said.“He was the kid of England. Everybody loved him. He was so powerful I was calling him pit bull. The power of Wayne Rooney is his mentality and strength and he never stops.“He’s a fantastic team player and he scores! He’s a fantastic boy and he helped me a lot when he came to join us in Manchester.”
There
are talks United manager Louis Van Gaal is prepared to break the bank
to match Real’s £90m evaluation of Ronaldo next summer, facilitating the
reunion of the pair.
