In a recent segment of Wayne Rooney's show on BBC, the former Manchester United legend shared his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo, stating that it would be "amazing" to see him win the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Rooney acknowledged Ronaldo's immense contributions to football, noting that he has helped Portugal secure three trophies and is the highest goal scorer in men's football history with 143 goals, 46 assists, and 226 appearances for the national team.
