As reported by The Sun, Rooney said of Ronaldo: "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."
https://twitter.com/UtdDistrict/status/1508357545844527107 Rooney, who is currently in charge of Championship outfit Derby County, also clarified that his relationship with the Portuguese star had not changed after the controversial sending off at the World Cup in 2006 - despite Ronaldo's infamous wink towards the Portugal bench. He added: "He likes diving. I had no issue with Cristiano whatsoever.
"Rio is a top player, but he is just arrogant," said Rooney.
"You get paid a lot of money at Man United to kick the ball into the net, so just do it.
"I said: 'Do your job, and give me the ball, give Ronaldo the ball. Stop standing there messing about.' Rio is a top lad but he sometimes did forget he was a defender."
"For two years I loved playing with him," said the Derby boss.
"I used to pick him up from his house for Champions League games and drive him to the airport. We’d play the game and come back.
"And, honestly, I spoke to him for 30 minutes, and I had no idea what is coming out of his mouth.
"He is just mumbling. I am not a great speaker and I am thinking, 'f***ing hell. He is mumbling and nothing, nothing'. I was devastated, it was the biggest disappointment of my life."
