“I hope to play with him again some day,” Ronaldo said. “Anything is possible. I am really happy for him this season, and not just for him but for the other players at Manchester.”

Rooney has scored 27 goals for United this season and excelled under the extra responsibility thrust upon him by Ronaldo’s exit in July.

With Rooney so central to United’s progress, it may take Ronaldo to move back to the Premier League to reunite the pair. Ronaldo said that he is still in touch with many players at the club as well as manager Alex Ferguson.

“I speak with the boss, Ferguson, sometimes,” Ronaldo said. “Rooney I speak with. Rio (Ferdinand), (Nemanja) Vidic, (Patrice) Evra, Nani, Anderson, many of them. Just because I have left the club does not mean my relationship with these guys ends.

“I have spent many years playing with them and they are still my friends. But what I speak to the boss about is private.”

Unlike Ronaldo, Rooney has stated his loyalty to United and not expressed any desire to switch clubs, even for one as prestigious as Madrid or Barcelona.

“The form of Rooney does not impress me, because of the quality he has,” Ronaldo said at the launch of Nike’s Mercurial Superfly boot in London. “He was always brilliant. This season he is playing very well and scoring many goals, but he is not a different player.

“He is a winning guy.”
