“In my eyes, greatest ever” Rooney chooses Mess before Ronaldo

England's former promoter admitted that the two are the best they've ever played, but chose the Argentinean before Portuguese.

“Messy. I think I've said this before, but both are probably the two best players who have ever played this game. I just think that Messy is, in my eyes, the biggest ever --”, Rooney said.

It's a surprising choice, given that Rooney had an excellent field partnership with Ronaldo during their time at Manchester United.

Among other things, they won three championship titles at Premierliga and a title in the Champions League.
