Wayne Rooney: Ronaldo, Tevez's Sale Started Manchester United's Decline

<blockquote>Wayne Rooney has delivered a damning verdict on Manchester United after claiming they have been in decline for more than a decade.<br><br>Rooney even insists it was a miracle they won their last Premier League title in 2013 and it was because Robin van Persie carried the team.<br><br>The United legend, the clubs record goalscorer, says the rot set in after they sold Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez - and they have been going downhill ever since.<br><br>Rooney, who famously had a public spat with Sir Alex Ferguson in 2010 after questioning their transfer policy, said: You could see after 2011; Ronaldo left in 2009, Tevez left and after that you could see it was going to go backwards before it can move forwards.</blockquote><img class=img src="https://0-i2--prod-mirror-co-uk-0.cdn.ampproject.org/ii/w680/s/i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article26154164.ece/ALTERNATES/s615b/0_Ronaldo-Tevez-Rooney.jpg"></img><br><b><i>The dream team: Ronaldo, Tevez and Rooney at Man Utd</i></b><br><blockquote>Thats what I could see and thats why I was asking the questions.

I think him coming in gave everyone a lift, coming in at number nine, scoring the goals he scored.<br><br>That was a bit of a masterstroke from the manager, to bring him in and have him hungry because he was a bit older as well. He really carried us that season.</blockquote><br><a rel=ugc href="https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/rooney-documentary-ronaldo-man-utd-26154215.amp">SOURCE </a><br><br><img class=img src="https://dailypost-ng.cdn.ampproject.org/ii/AW/s/dailypost.ng/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Wayne-Rooney2-1024x640.jpeg"></img>
