Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino says Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney is as good as any player in the world. Rooney looks back to his best after scoring seven times in his last eight games.
And Pochettino said: "I honestly rate him as high as Ronaldo and Messi. I have a great admiration for how he is as a football player.
"I think he's an amazingly talented player and I rate him as high as those two. I think that Wayne Rooney for England is very similar to what Lionel Messi is for Argentina."
