Wayne Rooney: Defenders now not as good as in my day

Former Manchester United and England striker Wayne Rooney played the best defenders’ fair share and against the fair share.

Rooney, who spent 13 years on a united side, both at home and in Europe, opposed the best central ridges offered by the continent.

However, in the latest edition of BBC Podcast, Wayne Rooney Show says Forward is not compared with today’s advocates during the 19 -year high -level career.

“In this age, the central ridges are not as close as I play,” 39 -year -old said.

William Saliba and Gabriel from Arsenal, one of the current Premier League crop, as the best couple.

“Saliba and Gabriel are really well completing each other,” he said.

“This is what you need, you need speakers and leaders as the central ridges of the leaders.

“Would I put them at the same level as the players I played? No, I wouldn’t. But probably the best matching today.”

Saliba signed a new contract with artillery this week, and Rooney said that the manager Mikel Arteta was able to hold the French “very big”.

“This helps other players following the teams and players coming in January and in the coming summer.” He said.

“When you know that there is stability, it helps everyone.”

In the last part of Podcast, Rooney lists the first five defenders he has faced.

The Manchester United duo praised Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic and said that both would be included in the top five defenders list.

However, this list consists of only the top five in the Champions League.
