Barcelona defender Gerard Pique rates former Manchester United teammate Wayne Rooney inside the world's top ten.
Pique won't hear criticism of the England ace.
"For me, Wayne Rooney is the best English player right now and definitely he would be in the top 10 (players in the world)," Pique said.
"He is a top-quality striker, the main player for Manchester United along with Robin van Persie, and he can play in every team in the world that he wants."
