Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic isn't impressed by the Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United hype that has surrounded the world of football in the last couple of weeks.
39-year-old Ibrahimovic, who currently plays for AC Milan has been critical of Ronaldo's previous spell at Old Trafford, claiming that the Portuguese maestro was "carried" by Wayne Rooney.
"When he played with Cristiano Ronaldo, all the work was done by Rooney," Ibrahimović told the BBC in 2015, as quoted by GiveMeSport.
"But he didn't get the credit because Ronaldo was scoring all of the goals. These great players have their moments over one to three years. But to continue over five years, for ten years the way Wayne Rooney has done is not easy. It's pressure every day playing for a big team."
The only way to prove that is to look at what Cristiano achieved before leaving Manchester United in 2009.
Ronaldo won three consecutive Premier League titles, a UEFA Champions League, an FA Cup, and two League Cups. Not only that, on the personal front, Ronaldo claimed the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year in 2008.

CrY fans are brainless! Zlatan is telling the truth in here, Ronaldo is so selfish and arrogant that he wants always the attention and the goals! That is why he was kicked out of Juventus!

I don't know what this article is trying to gain. This statement was made some years under a different circumstances, why bringing it again at this time to make gullible fans start insulting legends and doing unnecessary comparison. Nonsense!!
