    Wayne Rooney at 17 was already a fully formed World Class player. I don’t think he took perfect care of himself, so he declined pretty early, but in his prime he was better than any current English player

Right when I thought "Yep , we gonna win this Carabao and Community Shield Cup" and BAM these 4 motherfuckers launched a nuclear attack on our ass non-stop like those 2000's Non-Stop Hits Music CDs. .. Also when we were about to win PL , of course Rooney had to be skinhead and eat all teams as his breakfast. .. Same fucking thing happened when MU won UCL. .. Chelsea met MU in quarter final(I think , too much cocaine over the years my memory is hazy) and these motherfuckers got away with first degree murder on Chelsea's ass. ..

Rooney on the other hand is a very good team player, he doesn't care if he doesn't score as long as his team wins, he can play as a striker, midfielder, winger, even goalkeeper / defender, we can't win with 11 Ronaldo's (Yeah Ronaldo is a better goal-scorer than Rooney but what the tactic gonna be? 0-0-11?) but we can win with 11 Rooney's...

    True United fans know that Rooney was the cape that allowed CR7 to fly. That partnership was utterly devastating. Both brought the best out of each other, but that's only because Rooney had so many other strings to his bow. Rooney could do what CR7 did, maybe not to that level but he could do it. CR7 couldn't dream of doing what Rooney did. Pressing came as naturally to Rooney as step overs did to CR7. Rooney was pressing long before these modern teams made it fashionable.

    Rooney stepped down for Ronaldo cause he realized that man would do better at that job. It’s called humility and determination to win. He didn’t put his ego first and say “I’m better than him”. He realised he wasn’t.

    @Astro No, Rooney allowed Ronaldo to shine because Rooney knew he had many more elements to his game that could benefit the team. That's why he went on to have success at various positions, after Ronaldo left. It wasn't as simplistic as Ronaldo being better at that particular job. This makes a mockery of who Rooney was and what he brought to the table. You are too young to understand what Rooney contributed during that period. Don't worry, that's why we, the elders are here. We're happy to elucidate young bloods like yourself.

    @@kh7688 It is that simple. Ronaldo was the best in the world at that point. Why tf would you want to undermine that and say “yeah let me take his role instead”. Young blood? I was 16 when United won the double double in 08. Rooney was a class player. But to say he would have done just as good at Ronaldo’s position is delusional. Rooney was used the best he could. This notion of “poor Rooney he sacrificed everything for Ronaldo” sacrificed what exactly? Stats? They won everything together. That’s why they play. Not for the stats sheet. Ronaldo was the best at what he did and Rooney realised that. That’s a team player. That’s why they won. Don’t let Nostalgia ruin basic understanding of football.

    @Astro Written like a remedial child. If you were only 16 when United did the double, back in 08. That makes you a young blood. It also explains your hard-on for Ronaldo. Like I said, you're a little boy, and your comments illustrate that perfectly. Firstly, you need to pay attention. I never once wrote that Rooney would have done a better job than Ronaldo. In fact, my initial comment states that Ronaldo was the better goalscorer. What I am trying to hammer into that empty cocoon of yours, is that Rooney resisted the urge to run into the box to allow for Ronaldo to make those runs. From 08 onwards, Ronaldo played as a wide-forward, which meant he no longer tracked back. That's where the likes of Tevez, Rooney, Park etc, all came in. They would track and press because Ronaldo was better suited to the role. If you remember that season like I do (you won't, because you were still waking up from wet dreams, I was well into my 20s by then). When I tell kids like you that Rooney made sacrifices, compromises, concessions or whatever word you want to use. I am stating a fact, not an opinion. Your opinion has less than the value of a zero sum, when compared to the facts that I'm stating. Rooney wasn't some lesser player that hung back because he had no choice but to let Ronaldo shine. Rooney was just as feared and respected by the opposition players, managers, and fans alike. Your ignorant comments undermine the importance of Rooney and that's understandable. You were a stupid little 16 year old girl and now you're a stupid little 31 year old. Not much has changed in the intervening 15 years. What a shame.

    @@kh7688 Oh look at old wise grandpa here with his wise knowledge. This is football calm down mate not astrophysics. How was it like fighting the Germans? Hard on for Ronaldo? I don’t practice hardons on football players unlike some. I know you’re a bit up on your own ass, my point is Rooney deciding not to be a dedicated goal scorer and not playing a similar position to Ronaldo’s is why they were so successful together. I never had a problem with your comment. I was just adding on. You were the one who got all emo talking about it being a mockery. Maybe you haven’t been taking your meds so my fault. It’s not a sacrifice it’s playing a team sport and realising which role is best suited for your team to win. If there’s a player that excels at a position better than you you don’t overstep them. Rooney’s greatest attribute was never to be a dedicated forward. Not getting the limelight isn’t a sacrifice, some might even say a blessing. Was Maldini sacrificing when all the forwards in his team were winning player of the year awards and he didn’t when he did his job perfectly? No because he was content with winning. That’s the main goal. Nah you’re just one of those guys that goes on say “Ronaldo owes it to Rooney” but won’t admit it the other way around. Safe.

Media expected so much from him that he delivered. Delivered to the point that he was an overrated player on FIFA games. Rooney was an exceptional player during him time but he was neither the greatest or the worst. He was just another player who was good enough to play for Man Utd. Another Beckham if you might say, a player favored by the media but not that much to show on the pitch due to limitations
