Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney has reacted to Cristiano Ronaldo’s sack saying he is ‘not surprised’ by the club’s decision and that he believed the club had ‘no other choice’ than to let him go.
Ronaldo’s exit from Old Trafford was finally confirmed on Tuesday night November 23, after his bombshell interview with Piers Morgan, in which he slammed the club, its owners, his manager, and his teammates.
Rooney – who played in attack alongside Ronaldo for five years, admitted that Ronaldo had been a ‘fantastic servant’ to the club but added that United had little choice other than to show him the door.
‘Am I surprised? No,’ he told Sport 18, via the Sun.
‘There was no other choice but that’s a shame because he’s been a fantastic servant to the club.
‘I wish him the best wherever he goes.’
