Ronaldo left a comment on Rooney’s post, stating, “Two Jealous.” Rooney, while responding to presenter David Jones, said, “You’d have to say no (it hasn’t worked), at the minute. He’s scored goals, important goals in the Champions League earlier on in the season, he scored the hat-trick against Tottenham.”
The Derby County manager added, “But I think if you’re looking at the future of the club, you have to go with younger, hungry players to lift Manchester United over the next two or three years. Obviously, Cristiano is getting on a bit and he’s obviously not the player he was when he was in his 20s. That happens, that’s football. He’s a goal threat, the rest of the game, I think they need more younger and more hungry players.”
