EPL: Cristiano Ronaldo was so good and so  annoying – Wayne Rooney

Derby County manager, Wayne Rooney has said Cristiano Ronaldo is still “annoying” as a player.

Rooney played together with Ronaldo during his first stint at Old Trafford for five years from 2004 to 2009.

Ronaldo is back in Manchester for a second spell and so far scored 18 goals for the Red Devils.

Rooney, who is United’s all-time leading goalscorer, speaking at a black-tie dinner in Manchester last weekend, said: “Cristiano was so good and so f***ing annoying at the same time.

“He is probably not as good now but he is probably just as annoying.”

Ronaldo is however believed to be unsettled at the club and could depart this summer, especially if they fail to qualify for the Champions League.
