Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has said that he was faster than Cristiano Ronaldo during training sessions at Old Trafford. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, after several 30-yard tests between both of them, he was consistently quicker than CR7, with Owen Hargreaves coming in second.
Rooney added that even though Ronaldo is quite fast while dribbling with the ball, he is not so quick without it.
His words, “We’d done tests at over 30 yards, I think it was, and I was topping that, and Owen Hargreaves was second. Owen was quicker than what people think. So yeah, I was, I was faster than that.
But there are all different aspects in football. Cristiano obviously dribbling with the ball is really quick, Ryan Giggs dribbling with the ball. Some players seemed quicker with the ball and then without it as well.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
