Wayne Rooney is considered one of the best forwards in Premier League history, at least during the past decade. However, it was the English former footballer himself who surprised by placing himself below some of his historic rivals when choosing the best.
In an interview with the Champions League, Rooney participated in the classic game of choosing between two footballers until reaching an absolute favorite. The first comparison was between Haaland and Salah, and the former Manchester United player opted for the Egyptian. However, he quickly changed his choice when Sergio Agüero appeared, whom he preferred not only over Salah but even over himself.
The Argentine forward continued to be Rooney's choice over figures like Benzema and Raúl, until the game matched him against Thierry Henry. Against names like Ruud van Nistelrooy, Shevchenko, Ibrahimovic, and Lewandowski, Rooney chose the Frenchman. But he then leaned toward Cristiano Ronaldo over Henry, and also preferred him over Ronaldo Nazário.
