During the summer of 2006 the press predicted the downfall of Manchester United after our two best players had seemingly fallen out during the World Cup.
Apparently there was no way they could both continue at the club and we were doomed.
When on the opening day of the season we beat Fulham 5-1 with Rooney and Ronaldo both scoring and helping each other score, there were lots of disappointed people!
Cristiano Ronaldo has today said he would like to be reunited with Rooney and reckons our striker is just the right kind of player for Real Madrid.
“Wayne would be a sensation out here,” said Ronaldo. “I think we could do with Rooney to help us out. He would be brilliant if he came. This is the ideal place for the world’s best players and there’s little doubt he is one of them. Wayne has all the skill and determination you need to make a fine career here. He has shown just how good he is over the last few years in England. And there’s no doubt he would be the same sort of player in Spain. It would be lovely to see him here one day at Real Madrid. I realise it would take a lot for him to move from England. He loves the country, he loves Manchester United and he is a Liverpool boy. And United is a good club for him. But you never know what could happen in the future.”
A big compliment to Rooney. If I got an offer to join that Madrid side, I would find it hard to turn down.
I can’t see Rooney going anywhere, especially with the strikers Madrid already have.
I don’t reck wazza will go anywhere but look at the way that has been written a bit of tapping up mayb??
fuck off with your mystic meg predictions ronnie, he’s staying put
There he goes again with the “the future… you never know” bullcrap, do the talking on the pitch please…
Ah forget it ronnie wazza is staying put he loves our club and is loyal unlike you.”i want to stay at united it’s my home and i have forgotten about madrid” yeah right ronnie. goodness me guys this the future you’ll never know pisses me off. i don’t see wazza joining the clusterfuck no going to ways about it.
One thing I can’t imagine is Wayne talking in Spanish
Just proves how much he respects United and how wrong the media were after the World Cup “bust up”. Although both Ron and Roon confirmed that they had spoken and text each other after the game and there were no hard feelings the media just could not accept that. (That’s because in their minds England > UNITED.)
Ronaldo’s comments today are meant as nothing more than a big compliment and support for his mate Wayne.
lol Dave UNITED > England.. you got it the other way round mate.
But i agree with you, Ronaldo is giving his support to Rooney here.
I hope tomorrow Rooney will come out with a headline “Ronny still loves MU, and I still want him here”
Cristiano gave an interview to Portuguese tv and he tallked a lot about Rooney and how much he likes him and thinks he’s one of the best. I think he really misses him. The English press wanted to make all believe that they hated each other but the truth is Rooney and Ronaldo completed each other.
Cantona7 , u have misunderstood mate. Dave is saying and i quote , ” the media couldnt accept it coz in THEIR (the media’s) mind, England > United”, which as we all know is wrong .
@Oliver
cálmate, cálmate!
la mente de su coche por un compañero de cinco libras
@Cantona7
What I meant was the media think Enland > United but when our players come back they would never let anything that happened at International level hurt United.
Good line from you. I’d love to hear Wazza come out with something like you suggest. I believe it’s true too!!
@portugeseprincess
I’ve know a couple of people who speak Portugese who would often tell me that the English press would pick up things that Ronnie said in his native tongue and completely get the inference wrong. (Or more likely twist to whatever they wanted to print!)
All Ronny is doing is paying a huge compliment to Wazza. If Rooney was playing in that Madrid side, they’d win everything.
Rooney loves United and is here for life. Everyone knows that Cristiano will always have United in his heart and within 5-6 years he will want to be back here.
I find it impossible to hate Ronaldo, he acted like a dick that summer and last season was a sulky bastard for the most part, but it’s clear that if Real Madrid were non existent he wouldve never left us. He’s never said a bad word about United and never will. Add to that he helped us to 3 back to back titles and the Champions League.
Unlike an Argentinian……
@ Dave Mack
And I have come to realise that most people believe all that they read in the press, a shame really.
Yeah, they used to do it all the time. it pisses me off when you know what has been said but it is reported wrong. But hey, they need to sell papers
Cristiano has always liked Rooney. How could he not? Rooney and him together were amazing.
He probably just misses Rooney, they were close friends when he was at utd. It’s good to see he’s speaking fondly of him and complimenting. But no, Rooney’s ours Ron, he’ll never play at real, we can predict the ‘future’ and that’s Rooney finishing his career here.
I´m in Spain at the moment, and I´m going to see Ronnie´s Madrid tonight, shame he isn´t playing.

Fuck off ronaldo
HE LOVES THE CLUB AND HONEST TO IT
UNLIKE YOU
Certainly only a compliment.
For me, Rooney is to United what somebody like Messi is to Barcelona – not for sale. The players themselves don’t want to depart their respective clubs, nor do the clubs have any desire to cash in on them. These players play on the stage that they perceive to the best, so why move.
Of course, there’s a certain irony in Rooney’s case in that we took him from his boyhood club, but all United fans know Rooney has grown to love the club in a way that prevents him moving.
I think its natural ronny wud say that, him and wazza had a telepathic understanding on the pitch.
Rooney will never leave United cos he loves United.
Rooney best player in United.
We all know what happens with rooney and his skin type when in the sun too long and it’s not pleasent, especially not for him. Also you add to that that both him and his missus are close to their respective families in liverpool and i think you can about 98% conclude that if rooney ever was to leave it would be to another club based up north.
The thing is with ronaldo is that he is now being interviewed by sources based all around the world and he needs to make himself look good to each respective country to keep his commercial value high (to the spanish/Portuguese press he saying how everything is better in madrid incl the league itself and how he wants to stay for many yrs (the rest of his career quote seemed to be a british typo error) to the english press that our league is better just not a dream and to everyone else a mixture of the 2 and whatever will make him look good to that country). Basically it’s going to be at least 5 yrs or even till the end of his career till something truly honest comes out of his mouth or he’s been at madrid for enough time to put things in perspective, when things at madrid will most likely be not so fresh and full of opportunity & potental and when he could of potentally gotton feed up with the 24/7 performing seal act that madrid have seem to have got him doing (in 5ys even ronaldo may have got tired of doing an interview or promo every few days) The thing with dreams no matter who you are is that at the beginning everything seems perfect (even if it’s not you are not going to admit that it’s not) at some point the small print will most likely kick in – even a fairytale as he puts it have a dragon or witch popping up at some point (in his case with the ridiculous wizard stories popping up quite literally). even though i think he will last in madrid longer than most (out of the orignal galacticos figo, zidane, ronaldo, becks, owen & robinho only zizo didn’t get sold on after 5yrs or less – i know he retired after 5yrs but i still don’t think rm would of sold him) i just don’t see him doing a decade or longer at madrid even with his commercial value (esp if this 25% rise in wages each yr is true as by my maths he would price himself out of there eventually). Even though Ronaldo was often an arse when he was with us, he was our arse and though he probably does not miss us now real madrid of doing things could potentially get him down in a few yrs time (even if he doesn’t say it out loud, the constant flow of managers & players in and out will prob affect him at some point) and i can see madrid possibly selling him in 5-7yrs when the galacticos mk2 will likely be at an end, perez has gone, his wages are too high, he’s not worth as much commercially to rm as in the beginning and new talent has started coming through in the game who are younger and cheaper. i don’t think he’ll be back here as in my view the door is only open whilst saf is around which unfor will most likely not be much longer and i just don’t see rm wanting to sell in that time, but i see a few more twists in his career and you never know, prehaps him and rooney will play together later down the line – hopefully for utd and at their vintage best!
Premier League > Spanish Liga
MAN UTD > real madrId
@dv-ant:
United > Ronaldo > Real
I can’t believe people consider Rooney to be a loyal player.
Absolutely clueless.
I think if you asked any club would they like Rooney they would all give the same answer, it just shows that when people constantly slate Rooney and Ronaldo saying they petulant kids how wrong they are, since, quite clearly they are able to put the needs of the club above any silly arguments the media seems to want them to be having
i don’t love him but i don’t hate him either.
end of the day, you gotta respect him for chasing his dreams. it was his dream to play in rm (read that somewhere i think) long before the opportunity came to him. and he worked hard at united to achieve the level he is today.
just because it was his dream move doesn’t mean it was the best move though, so would be great if he returned one day (not any time soon i hope), but if he doesn’t, doesn’t matter much.
united wins, with or without him.
brett1985 – Are you actually serious? I would rather chop off my own testicles than join that fucking circus. They are a joke mate.
Anyway regarding the article. Get fucked Ronnie lad. Haven’t you got anyone over there to do your donkey work for you and make things happen?
I think Rooney will stay no matter what. Real Madrid is a circus, that is for sure.
Rooney the Everton lad will stay no matter what?
Real are a circus but I don’t think there is much wrong with that.
when did rooney say he will “stay no matter what” i take it ur referreing to his everton days…rooney is an everton supporter and always will be even if former fans have a grudge against him..he was always going to go on to a bigger club, and there is no one bigger than united.
I’m referring to his united days where someone above stated he will stay at united no matter what.
right, well he wont be going anywhere else, he has found his perfect club at united, there is no need for him to look for another club
Ulster Red
That seems to be more your gut instinct than based on any particular evidence. Surely you would have to admit that in leaving Everton, the club he supported, that he showed the limit of his loyalty. Now I think it is probable that he will stay with us but it is by no means certain as some are suggesting.
well nothing is certain in football, as i say he was always too good to stay at everton, if everton where challenging for titles year in year out then wayne would have stayed at everton..footballers want to win tropheys and collect medals thats why rooney left everton
Fat chance ronny! Have you not got enough already?
