Wayne Rooney refused to be drawn out on the incessant transfer rumours surrounding his Manchester United team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo, instead preferring to use a question regarding the Portuguese phenom's fate to outline his own lofty plans for next season.
Rooney found himself firmly in Ronaldo's shadows for the almost entirety of last campaign, but to his credit never showed a hint of resentment and contributed greatly to United's double last season with plenty of hard wok and assists.
Ronaldo's form was so irresistible that it was almost as if the England man willingly played second fiddle in order to maximise the impact the Portuguese's solo concerto, but now he is eager to prove that he can be just as prolific in front of goal.
"Cristiano is unbelievable," Rooney said of his strike partner.
"What he's done for United in the last two years is brilliant.
"Playing alongside him makes you work hard. You always want to be the best and I think I can score a few more goals."
Rooney will have to more than double his output of 18 goals in all competitions last campaign if he is to match Ronaldo' incredible 42 goals last term.

why he is not scoring as much is he is playing more for the team in that he takes up odd positions and alot of times, asking him to be defensive..
however saying that, I don't think he is the box-type striker like a RVN also.
