Reacting to the development, Rooney said age has finally caught up with Ronaldo, insisting that the Portugal captain is finding it hard to accept it.

Rooney told CNN (via United Zone): “He is a fantastic player. Him and Messi are probably the two best players to play the game. It’s not criticism, what I have said is age comes to all of us, Cristiano is finding it hard to deal with that.

“He has done an interview and it has gone global, Bit strange some of the comments, but I am sure Manchester United will deal with it once they see the full interview and take whatever action they need to take.”
