Rooney mistook Ronaldo for another iconic Man Utd team-mate in Carlos Tevez

The former striker spent five years with CR7 at Old Trafford and together they won the Premier League, Champions League and League Cup.

However, the England great couldn’t recognise him during a game he played with Amazon Prime, where he had to guess his former team-mate based on hair style.

Man Utd’s record goalscorer got Marouane Fellaini, David de Gea, Nani, David Beckham and of course himself.

However, the former Derby boss mistook Paul Pogba for Wilfried Zaha, but got him right in his second guess.

And then the ex-Plymouth Argyle manager thought Ronaldo was Carlos Tevez.

Nevertheless, the pundit managed to brush it off with a cheeky joke about the Portugal captain.

Rooney said: “He’ll be fuming with that.”

The Everton legend has a history of butting heads with Ronaldo in the past.

“We’re here in my house, he picked up his kids here and he invited [Ronaldo’s son] Cristiano to go to his house to play football.

“I really don’t understand people like that. Or if they want to be on a cover of the paper in the news or they want new jobs or whatever.”
