Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo has admitted that he misses playing with his former Manchester United teammate Wayne Rooney.

The two enjoyed a great spell at Old Trafford, where they won every available trophy.

And Ronaldo is still full of praise for his former teammate.

"For me the power of Wayne Rooney is his mentality and strength," Ronaldo told Goalhanger films.

"He never stops, he always runs, helps the team. He's a fantastic team player and he scores goals. He scored important goals, for me he's fantastic.

"He was the kid of England. Everyone loved him. He is a fantastic boy, fantastic player.

"I used to call him, between me and my mates, the pit bull. I remember when he lost the ball he was so powerful, a strong guy, he shoots unbelievable.

"He scored many goals, what can I say? I miss playing with him. The future nobody knows. Maybe we'll play one day together again."
