Wayne Rooney issued a one-word verdict for his former Manchester United teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.
Rooney made 205 appearances alongside Ronaldo during their time at Old Trafford. Ronaldo left United in 2009 to join Real Madrid, where he spent five seasons sharing a dressing room with Rooney and won seven major trophies together.
