Rooney reveals Manchester United s past: Never mind sacrificing ball rights for Ronaldo

As Manchester United legendary striker, Wayne Rooney recently reviewed his first in-depth review of his years with Ronaldo at the Red Devils in his podcast of his friend Leo Ferdinand. This past story of "Twins" who swept the Premier League and the Champions League has revealed more unknown details.

When asked whether he had adjusted his playing style to cooperate with Ronaldo, Rooney admitted this frankly, but emphasized that he had never thought about the word "sacrifice". "I was full of winning games at that time. Winning the Premier League or the Champions League, nothing else mattered." He said bluntly that he was born to be more inclined to team players, and Ronaldo had a rare "ultimate mentality" in football - this mentality is far more than any player he has ever seen. He is eager for team honors, but also persists in "taking everything" at the personal level.

"I never care about the Golden Globes or personal trophys, those meaningless to me." Rooney's statement was straightforward and honest, "But C-Royce is different. He wants all the honors. This 'selfishness' is not a derogatory meaning, but the key to his becoming a top superstar."

The two's Manchester United fate began in 2004. When Rooney made his mark from Everton, Rooney had been playing for a year with the Red Devils. In the following five years, they joined forces under Sir Ferguson to win three Premier League titles and one Champions League title, becoming one of the most lethal offensive combinations in European football in the late 2000s. In 2009, Ronaldo joined Real Madrid with a world-record transfer fee; while Rooney held on until 2017, returning to Everton after scoring 253 goals for Manchester United, bringing an end to this cooperation.

Break the "reverse" Rumor: I love Ronaldo very much, but I appreciate Messi more, in addition to reviewing the stadium cooperation, Rooney also faces the "controversy" of the outside world for many years - because he once publicly stated that "Messi is stronger than Ronaldo", he is often speculated that he has a disagreement with Ronaldo. In response, Rooney smiled and clarified: "Everyone thinks I hate him, but I actually love him very much! He is a football genius, and it is incredible that he can still maintain a top-level state now."

He revealed that when he was a player, he had a much closer relationship with Ronaldo than the outside world imagined. "We were almost inseparable when we were at Manchester United, but everyone only stared at me and praised Messi." As for why he prefers Messi, Rooney gave a reason: "Of course I like Ronaldo's 'killer instinct', but Messi does have a little more unique thing in terms of breaking through and connecting teammates. It is a pleasure to watch him play football."

This clarification also reminds people of the 2006 World Cup episode - when Portugal was against England, Ronaldo "signed Rooney to the referee to send off Rooney" It caused controversy, but after returning to Manchester United, the two quickly resolved their past grudges and used their tacit cooperation on the field to shatter all rumors of disagreement.

Now, Rooney has transformed into a coach, and Ronaldo continues his career in the Saudi League. Although this story of Manchester United legend has ended, the details restored by Rooney in person still allow fans to see the true side of the top players' competition and mutual appreciation.
