Cristiano Ronaldo v Wayne Rooney, from outstanding Man Utd careers to glam Wags, huge wealth and rows like ‘Winkergate’

 CRISTIANO RONALDO and Wayne Rooney are at loggerheads... AGAIN.

Forget "Winkergate", the DC United boss says Ronaldo is becoming an "unwelcome distraction" at Manchester United following a series of hissy fits.

Rooney's comments resulted in his former team-mate hitting back in a brand NEW exclusive interview with SunSport columnist Piers Morgan on TalkTV.

Ronaldo took aim at Rooney's early retirement as well as making personal attacks on the England all-time top scorer's looks.

CR7 slammed: "I don’t know why he criticises me so badly… probably because he finished his career and I’m still playing at a high level.

“I’m not going to say that I’m looking better than him. Which is true…”

Rooney had previously questioned whether Ronaldo re-signing for United was a success.

When asked if Ronaldo’s signing has worked out for United, Rooney said: "You’d have to say no, at the minute.

"I think he’s scored goals, he’s scored important goals in the Champions League early on in the season. He scored the hat-trick against Tottenham.

"But I think if you look to the future of the club you would have to go with younger, hungry players to do the best to lift Manchester United over these next two, three years.
