Rooney, who played alongside Ronaldo during their time together at the Theatre of Dreams, has now taken the time to send the Portugal international a fiery warning.

The former England star suggested time is ripe for the five-time Ballon d'Or to hang his boots because "time catches up with us all."

"He's obviously not the player he was when he was 22 or 23, for instance. It's a tough one for him," he added.
