Wayne Rooney (36) criticized Cristiano Ronaldo (37) on TV. Now the Englishman gets an answer from his former teammate.

– He scored important goals earlier in the season, including in the Champions League and he scored a hat trick against Tottenham. But if you’re looking to the future of the club, you’ll have to bet on younger, hungry players to lift United over the next two to three years. stated Wayne Rooney about his former teammate when he hosted “Monday Night Football” on Sky Sports.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney shared a wardrobe for five years and were central in one of Manchester United’s heyday. The duo led a fearsome attack and won, among other things, three league golds and one Champions League trophy together, before the Portuguese traveled on to Real Madrid.
After 12 years at Real Madrid and Juventus, 37-year-old Ronaldo was brought back to Manchester United this summer. There he stands with 18 goals in 32 games in all tournaments for the Red Devils this season.
– Cristiano has grown older, and he is certainly not the player he was when he was in his 20s. It is common. He is a threat in front of goal, but I think the team needs more in the other parts of the game, Rooney continued in his analysis.
Their old manager José Mourinho is in Bodø:
Now Rooney is apparently getting an answer from Ronaldo. Rooney has posted a picture from the Sky Sports broadcast on Instagram and a well-known name appears in the comments field.
“Two jealous,” writes Ronaldo. “To jealous” translated into Norwegian. Also in the studio was former Liverpool player and current football expert Jamie Carragher.
Rooney was born in the same year as his former attacking partner, but resigned in January 2021. The Englishman is now the manager of Derby County, which is second last in the Championship. The club has struggled financially and was drawn 21 points this season.
