"Him every day of the week" - Roy Keane chooses between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi
Former Manchester United midfielder and current pundit Roy Keane has unsurprisingly gone for Cristiano Ronaldo over Lionel Messi in the debate for the greatest footballer of all time.
In an interview on the YouTube channel The Overlap (via Give Me Sport), Gary Neville asked Roy Keane various questions, with one being where Keane had to choose between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Keane did not hesitate in picking the Juventus star and said:
"Ronaldo. Every day of the week."
It was no surprise Keane selected his former Manchester United teammate over Lionel Messi. The current Sky Sports pundit was part of Sir Alex Ferguson's side during the early stages of Cristiano Ronaldo's Manchester United career.
The Portuguese had an exceptional time at Manchester United. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner joined the Red Devils in 2003 and went on to win four Premier League titles, one FA Cup and a Champions League in 2008. Coincidentally Cristiano Ronaldo's final game for United was against Barcelona and Lionel Messi in the Champions League final, which the Red Devils lost 2-0.
Cristiano Ronaldo then went on to join Real Madrid for a then-transfer record of £80 million where he ignited his long-time rivalry with Lionel Messi.
