Rooney, who played alongside Ronaldo at United, recently revealed what it was like training with the Portugal superstar and shared his views on the never-ending comparisons with Messi.

"But despite my friendship with Cristiano, I'd go for Messi. It's for the same reason I loved watching Xavi and (Paul) Scholes: it's the different things in Messi's game.
"I've talked about composure and I can't remember seeing Messi score when he has hit the ball as hard as he could. He just rolls them in, makes it so easy.
"Ronaldo is ruthless in the box, a killer. But Messi will torture you before he kills you. With Messi, you just get the impression he is having more fun.
"Those two have completely changed the game in terms of goalscoring numbers and I don't think they'll ever be matched."
