Former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has compared his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo to PSG forward Lionel Messi.

"Everyone has their own opinion about Messi and Ronaldo, but I have repeatedly said that I think Messi is better. I have watched many videos with Diego Maradona, who had similar characteristics, but Messi is better. He has everything - I mean the way he controls the game, his dribbling, his assists, while Ronaldo can be called a goalscorer.

If Messi or Ronaldo win the World Cup, it would be a great story for football," Rooney was quoted as saying by The Times.
