Rooney was in the experts' panel during Sky Sports' coverage of a Premier League match, wherein he was quizzed about his former teammate Ronaldo. The Englishman was questioned if Manchester United's move to sign their former legendary player was a good move.
"You'd have to say no, at the minute, I think he's scored goals, he's scored important goals in the Champions League early on in the season. He scored the hat-trick against Tottenham, but I think if you look to the future of the club you would have to go with younger, hungry players to do the best to lift Manchester United over these next two, three years," said Wayne Rooney.
He continued, "And obviously Cristiano is getting on a bit. He certainly isn’t the player he was when he was in his 20s. And that happens, that’s football. He’s a goal threat but I think the rest of the game they need more, they need young, hungry players."
