Wayne Rooney stuck to his guns when asked for his answer on the Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi debate by former Manchester United team-mate Gary Neville
Wayne Rooney has once again voiced his opinion that Lionel Messi tops Cristiano Ronaldo in the greatest-of-all-time debate.
"I think Messi, I think he's just the best ever," Rooney declared. "I get a lot of stick for saying Messi where it's as if, 'How can you say Messi, it's Ronaldo.' I understand that people can say Messi, people can say Ronaldo. Ronaldo wasn't happy with Rooney after he'd suggested he was becoming an "unwanted distraction" during his second spell at United, a tenure that ended in unfortunate circumstances after a fallout with Erik ten Hag.
"They are not my friends, they are colleagues. We played together but we're not having dinner together. It's part of my journey, they keep criticising me with negativity every time.
