2 Former Manchester United Stars Choose Messi Over Ronaldo

2 of the best players from Manchester United of the days of Christiano Ronaldo have picked Messi over Ronaldo, probably losing a great friend. Those two stars are David Beckham and Wayne Rooney. David Beckham insisted that "Cristiano Ronaldo 'is not at Lionel Messi's level'". He still believes that they are above the level of every other player in the world though.

Wayne Rooney said "But despite my friendship with Cristiano, I’d go for Messi. It’s for the same reason I loved watching Xavi and Scholes: it’s the different things in Messi’s game. I’ve talked about composure and I can’t remember seeing Messi score when he has hit the ball as hard as he could. Ronaldo just rolls them in, makes it so easy. Messi will torture you before he kills you. With Messi, you just get the impression he is having more fun." This is all that can be said on this topic between a Messi and Ronaldo.
