Who other than Wayne Rooney tops the list of Cristiano Ronaldo's football partners.

Sir Alex built a team around his two aces in the name of Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo. The two combined to form one of the most fearsome duos in premier league history. Wayne Rooney known for his selfless performances and high work rate was the perfect partner for Cristiano Ronaldo. The star duo helped United win 3 premier league titles along with a champions league trophy.

It is fair to say that Wayne Rooney's presence gave Ronaldo the freedom to run past his opponents, improvise well and not the least be experimental. During their hugely successful time together the duo ran riot in the premier league often being in the scoring charts for Manchester United.

Sir Alex had many great players in his squad but the two men who stood out most often were Rooney and Ronaldo.

One famous show of their devastating partnership was in 2009 when United came back from 0-2 to win 5-2 against Tottenham Hotspur with Rooney and Ronaldo both scoring a brace. Over the years Ronaldo has formed many good partnerships but his time with Wayne Rooney remains finest of all.
