But Rooney who played alongside the five-time Ballon d’Or winner expressed doubts over reports that Ronaldo will join Man Utd rivals City.
The pair overcame that wink incident at the 2006 World Cup to form of the most deadly partnerships in Premier League history as United claimed three successive Premier League titles.
Rooney said via talkSPORT:
"It’s an interesting one but I can’t see it. I think Cristiano has got a very good legacy at Manchester United and I know how proud he is as a player and a person. I can’t see it, but it’s football so you never know.
"There have been a few that have done it but no one at Cristiano’s level.
“Obviously Peter Schmeichel and Andy Cole, but I just can’t see that as an option for him really.
"Financially of course he doesn’t need to do it. I think it’s more likely that it’s PSG he goes to."
According to earlier claims from Pavel Nedved, the vice president of Juve, Ronaldo is happy at the club, but fresh details say he is heading to City.
