Wayne Rooney thinks Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player to grace the Premier League.
Manchester United need to work a bit more to confirm the Premier League title after their draw at Blackburn, but Rooney also has eyes on the Champions League trophy.
Manchester United face Barcelona in the semi finals of the Champions League and Rooney is eager to get a win against the Spanish heavyweights.
Despite Barca heralding a string of world class players, Rooney is confident the world’s best is in his side.
Wayne Rooney:
Barcelona are one of the best teams in the world and I’m sure it will be a fantastic game between two entertaining teams.
It is going to be one of the best semi-finals you could see, with some great attacking football. They have so many unbelievable players - Henry, Ronaldinho, Messi, Xavi, Eto’o - the list goes on.
Messi’s my favourite - for his age and the way he plays, he is brilliant.However, Rooney believes even Argentina star Messi plays second fiddle to United team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo, who the striker hailed as greatest player to grace English football since the Premier League began.
He has not just been the best player of the last two seasons, he’s the best player the Premier League has ever seen - and that’s including Thierry Henry, Gianfranco Zola, Eric Cantona, Dennis Bergkamp and Alan Shearer.

Best the premiership has ever seen? Not yet. Has the potential to be, hell if he carries on the way he is at the moment he could be the best ever in the world, but he’s only had 2 exceptional seasons, I don’t think he can be called the best the premiership has seen yet, look at the period of time Cantona, Bergkamp and Henry served in the Premiership. Rooney is just jumping the gun. Don’t support Man Utd, to be fair I hate them. But I can admire Ronaldo for the special player he is.. But he does look like a total, total fag.
