Recognize each other! Rooney: Irving is indeed unparalleled. Once I walked on the street and pretended that I was him

September 8th News England legendary striker Irving recently said on social media that he was better than Rooney when he was young, and Rooney also responded to this on his personal podcast program.

Rooney: "Irving was really incredible when he was 17 or 18. Once I walked on the street and pretended to be him. I pretended to be Michael Irving, even though he was a Liverpool player... (laughs)"

"I can fully understand what he said, but we are two completely different players. For three or four years, Irving was probably the best striker in the world. Unfortunately, he suffered those injuries, which probably made him unable to adapt to the game like me anymore."

"He has a very pertinent evaluation, but I will never compare myself to Irving because he is someone I respect and I am very happy to be with him."
