Cristiano Ronaldo's 5 favourite teammates

Djalo and Ronaldo had a good time during their early days

#3 Wayne Rooney

The once dynamic duo of Manchester United

“Wayne has his own style. But with his hair he looks much better. He looks very good now. Before he was a little bit ugly, but now, with hair, he’s beautiful.”

Ronaldo spent some golden years at Old Trafford and it’s obvious that he will have a teammate of a lifetime from the bunch. Along with Rooney, the duo had colossal achievements together as fellow Red Devils and the way the two led Manchester United towards European glory says a lot about their friendship.

Ronaldo has always been full of praise for the England captain and he admires Rooney’s character a lot. Time and again, even at the worst of times when Rooney had a rough patch if there was someone who has always backed him to bounce back it has been none other Ronaldo. Once Ronaldo was quoted saying:

“I miss playing with Rooney. Maybe we will play together again one day. He was the kid of England, everyone loved him.”

Barring that bust-up during the EURO 2004 match between Portugal and England, they have had a fabulous time together.
