United striker Wayne Rooney says Cristiano Ronaldo is a massive threat
for his side’s Champions League last 16 return against Real Madrid but
insists the Red Devils will have the last laugh over his former teammate
and qualify.
Ronaldo will face United at Old Trafford
on Tuesday for the first time since his world record 80 million pounds
(92 million euros, 120 million dollars) move to the Bernabeu
three-and-a-half years ago.
“I think we obtained a good result in
the opening leg in getting a 1-1 draw — the away goal gives us a certain
advantage for the home leg,” Rooney said, while warning that United
would have to keep Ronaldo quiet if they were to reach the last eight.
“Without doubt, Cristiano,” said Rooney
in an exchange Sunday with Real sponsors bwin when asked who he thought
posed the greatest threat.
“He is incredible. I have played with him and I know just how good he is.
“He is the player I have the most respect for in their team as a footballer and as a person.”
Real midfield star Kaka meanwhile said
that the Spaniards were not feeling they had missed their chance by
failing to obtain an opening leg lead.
