Summary: Pohlam - Manchester United 2:1 (Sport1)
Cristiano Ronaldo's sensational interview continues to resonate.
This morning (Friday), the day after the publication of the first part of the interview, came the reaction of Wayne Rooney, one of Ronaldo's former teammates who was in his sights in the interview in question.
As you remember, Ronaldo claimed in an interview that Rooney, who played with him in his previous term at Manchester United and visited him several times in the recent period due to his position as a commentator, "is generally jealous of me".
In an interview published yesterday, Ronaldo even called Rooney a "mouse", and when asked by the interviewer Piers Morgan if Rooney was jealous of him because of his fat bank account, he replied: "Not only him, imagine also the other mice who criticize me."

This morning Roni was interviewed by the "CNN" network and provided his own response to the things, as he tries to maintain class but also stings his former teammate.
"Ronaldo is a fantastic player, he and Messi are probably the two greatest players of all time. What I said about him at the time, it's not a criticism. I just said he's getting old. And it seems he's having trouble dealing with it."
According to Rooney, "Ronaldo's interview became a big story all over the world, but some of his statements there are a little strange to me. In any case, I am convinced that Manchester United will know how to handle it after the whole interview is published. They will punish him in a certain way, that's clear ".
