Ronaldo And I Played A Lot Of Pranks On Sir Alex Ferguson – Rooney

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney has come out to reveal how he managed to easily wind up Cristiano Ronaldo at MUFC. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he remembers constantly seeing Ronaldo looking into the mirror to tell himself he is beautiful, and anytime he disagreed by saying CR7 is actually ugly, it always managed to wind him up.

Rooney added that they both played pranks on Sir Alex Ferguson during their time at the club, and they had a really good relationship.

His words, “We had a really good relationship, but we were the complete opposites. It was funny. Ronaldo was such a good character. Some of the stuff he used to do, with laughing and messing around, was similar to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

He would look into the mirror telling himself he is beautiful. Then there is me, who is the complete opposite – I did not have his looks! I was always telling him he was ugly. I used to say, ‘no you’re not’ – messing around – but it used to wind him up.

The two of us would always play pranks on the manager and I would pick him up at times to take him to training or to the hotel.”

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, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the second to win that competition for the first time as well.
