Derby County player-coach Wayne Rooney has likened Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah to former Manchester United teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.

Rooney wrote for the Sunday Times: Mo Salah is starting to do what Ronaldo did for Manchester United, in terms of just being there and not really getting back to defend but always being a threat so that if you're a defender or midfielder playing against him.

“You're terrified of him on the counter-attack."

Juventus ace Ronaldo scored 118 goals in nearly 300 appearances for the Red Devils, helping United to three Premier League titles and a Champions League honour.
