Zlatan Ibrahimovic believes Cristiano Ronaldo got more credit than he deserved during his first spell at Manchester United.

He scored 118 goals and 69 assists in 292 appearances across all competitions for the Red Devils but the AC Milan forward insists that Ronaldo was just doing all the scoring while Wayne Rooney did all the work.

What Zlatan Ibrahimovic said about Cristiano Ronaldo
Meanwhile, Sport Bible quoting BBC Sport and GiveMeSport report that:
"When he played with Cristiano Ronaldo, all the work was done by Rooney. But he didn't get the credit because Ronaldo was scoring all of the goals.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner is expected to make his second debut for the Red Devils when they host Newcastle United at Old Trafford this weekend.
He affirmed this after joining his new teammates at the Carrington training complex earlier this week - days after becoming the player with the most national team goals in history.
