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.

Ronaldo then left a comment with the words ‘two jealous’ later that day.The Derby County boss has now responded to his former team-mate at his latest press conference, saying that there will not be a player on the planet who is not jealous of Ronaldo, other than Lionel Messi.Rooney was questioned about his former team-mate’s remark during his latest Derby County press conference, to which he responded.’I’d say there’s not a football player on the planet who isn’t jealous of Cristiano Ronaldo.
