WAYNE ROONEY is still not happy Cristiano Ronaldo left Old Trafford last summer, claiming the Portuguese superstar is ‘irreplaceable’.

Rooney, said: “I don’t consider I was ever in Ronaldo’s shadow but, no, I’m not happy he left the club and I don’t think any of us are.

“I’d prefer him to still be in the team if I’m being honest.

“He’s a brilliant player, irreplaceable, the best player in the world – so no one’s happy he left.

Rooney still keeps in touch with Ronaldo following his former team-mate’s world record Ł80million move to the Bernabeu : We still speak from time to time. He’s enjoying his football in Madrid and obviously he’s settled in well and is scoring goals. He sounds like he is loving it over there”.
