'But he feels that Ronaldo needs to accept that he’s in the latter stages of his career and being a player at a club the size of Manchester United means respecting the situation.'
earlier this season: “No, I don’t think so. Him and [Lionel] Messi are arguably the two best players of all-time and you can go either way with that, whatever way you decide.
“But I just think the things he has done from the start of the season, it is not acceptable for Man Utd. I’ve seen Roy Keane defending him. Roy wouldn’t accept that. Roy wouldn’t accept that at all. “It is a distraction which Man Utd don’t need at the minute, trying to rebuild. For Cristiano, just get your head down and work and be ready to play when the manager needs you. If he does that, he will be an asset. If he doesn’t, it will become an unwanted distraction.”: “I don’t understand, you should ask this question to him. I don’t know why he criticised me so bad.”
Asked whether Rooney was jealous of him, Ronaldo replied: “Probably, because he finished his career in his 30s. I’m still playing at a high level, I’m not going to say that I’m looking better than him, which is true. “It’s hard to listen to that kind of criticism and negativity from people who played with you, for example Gary Neville as well… They are not my friends. It’s easy to criticise, I don’t know if they have a job in television that they must criticise to be more famous.”‘ sources have learned that Rooney is “bemused” by Ronaldo’s comments but holds “no animosity” towards his former Man Utd team-mate.
