Manchester United icon Wayne Rooney says he has yet to speak with Cristiano Ronaldo since he rejoined the club.
Rooney and Ronaldo were part of the United team that won three Premier League titles, the Champions League, and the League Cup between 2006 and 2009.
Ronaldo has rejoined the Red Devils from Juventus this summer, while Rooney is currently managing Derby County in the Championship.
"I haven't spoken to Cristiano since his return and I won't be going to the game on Saturday," Rooney said about Ronaldo's return.
"I've got a day off on Saturday and two of my sons have got their own games, so I'll be taking them and being a taxi driver on Saturday.
"Obviously I follow Manchester United, I want them to do well, and I think it's great for them that they've brought Cristiano back.
"His mentality will rub off on the younger players, especially, so I think it's a great signing.
"Cristiano will know himself it's not going to be as simple or straightforward for him as it was in Spain or Italy.
"It's a physical league, but he knows that, because he's played in it before, so I'm sure he's prepared and ready to go and score goals again for United."
