Former Manchester United team-mate Wayne Rooney, current Derby County coach, has spoken about CR7's return to the Red Devils. In comments relayed by the daily L'Equipe, the former Three Lions striker expressed no doubt as to the ability of the 36-year-old Portuguese to weigh on the Premier League: "he is back in the best World Championship.

He knows it's a big challenge. Coming back to Manchester United, he will want to prove himself again. Of course he can have an impact in the Premier League. Look at his two headed goals against Ireland. He is very demanding of himself. If anyone can rise to this challenge, it’s him. ”

Asked, moreover, on the rumors announcing Ronaldo on the side of Manchester City, Rooney could not imagine for a moment CR7 making the choice of the great rival: “Cristiano is a very proud person. He left a very beautiful image for Manchester United. The first time I heard about (these rumors) was right before a press conference and you asked me if he would go to Manchester City. I couldn't believe it. (...) His relationship with the club, Sir Alex (Ferguson) and the fans was too important. I couldn't believe there were discussions with City. Manchester United would never have let such a thing happen. "
