Ronaldo and Rooney will get better - Ferguson Sunday, August 12, 2007
Sir Alex Ferguson believes that Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo will keep on improving.
“There is no doubt Rooney and Ronaldo can do better,” he said.
“As a player, I felt at my strongest when I was 25 and 26, so they have another three years or more before they get anywhere near their peak and maturity.
“At 21, you do daft things on the pitch. You produce moments of ability but there is no consistency. You might score a goal, then miss one.
“Maybe these two defy that a little bit but experience gives you authority, timing and control.”
“He will always have that,” Ferguson added. “Wayne knows when he has done wrong, so when he is unfairly treated he reacts to it.
“You don't want him to do that all the time but at least there is an honesty about what he does.”
