Ronaldo Will Not Join Manchester City Say, Rooney

Wayne Rooney says the Juventus striker and former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo will not dare to join Man City this transfer window and tear his Manchester United legacy.

Ronaldo Will Not Join Manchester City Say, Rooney

Rooney won three premier league titles alongside Ronaldo in the decade preceding City’s rise to the top of English football. And as someone who knows Ronaldo well, Rooney “can’t see” the Juventus forward joining the rival organization

However, Ronaldo is said to be unhappy at Juventus and interested in a switch of scenery, and the city is one of the few clubs that could afford to pay his wages.

“I think Cristiano has got a very good legacy at Manchester United and I know how proud he is as a player and a person,” says Rooney.

“I can’t see (him joining City), but it’s football so you never know. There have been a few that have done it but no one at Ronaldo’s level. Obviously Peter Schmeichel and Andy Cole, but I just can’t see that as an option for him really.

“Financially of course he doesn’t need to do it. I think it’s more likely that it’s PSG he goes to.”

Ronaldo joining City would also mark a second seismic shift in the football world in less than a month after Lionel Messi left Barcelona for PSG.
