'He finished his career. I'm not going to say I’m looking better than him': Ronaldo hits back at Rooney for criticising him

"I don't know why he [Rooney] criticises me so badly... probably because he finished his career and I'm still playing at high level," Cristiano Ronaldo has told Piers Morgan.

"I'm not going to say that I’m looking better than him. Which is true," the Portuguese added.

Earlier, Rooney said the following about Ronaldo: "For Cristiano, get your head down, work and be ready when the manager needs you. If he does, he will be an asset. If he doesn't, it will become an unwanted distraction."

Cristiano has given an 'explosive' interview in which he heavily slammed Man United for how they treated him this year.
