However, Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford admits to favouring Barcelona talisman Lionel Messi over Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, with the Argentine considered to be “the greatest ever”.
Debate regarding which of the two eternal rivals can be considered the best has raged for over a decade now, with high-profile figures from the sporting world and beyond having had their say.
Rashford has now added his opinion to the melting pot, with the 20-year-old turning out in an era dominated by two iconic performers on opposing sides of the Clasico divide in La Liga.
Rooney, who famously played against Ronaldo at the Euro 2004 and the 2006 World Cup, has now lauded Messi, insisting he is the best player in history.
Appearing on the ‘Pardon My Take’ podcast, Rooney was asked which player he preferred and instantly replied: “Messi”.
Asked why he selected the Barca number 10, he added: “Yeah, I think I’ve said this before, but they’re both probably the best two players to ever play the game.
“I just think Messi is, in my eyes, the greatest ever.”
Messi and Ronaldo struggled to consistently replicate their brilliant club form at the just concluded 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
