Wayne Roney chose Lionel Messi and Harry Kane over Cristiano Ronaldo when playing the ‘play, bank and sell’ game for three stars
The coach of DC United, Rooney was asked how he would manage the trio if he had all three stars in the team and had to invite them to the World Cup, he immediately decided to exclude his former friend from his list his team at Manchester United.
“This was difficult… I would start with Messi, I would leave Kane on the bench and I would allow Ronaldo to leave,” he told JioCinema. “He’s not even playing for his club, so…”.
Rooney and Ronaldo have started a war of words recently. Rooney has criticized his former teammate for his behavior this season, describing them as “unacceptable”. Ronaldo hit back at him by saying he “looks prettier” than Rooney before suggesting the former England star is only criticizing him because the Portuguese is still playing at the highest level.
