During these 3 years ronaldo had great achievements of 3 peating prem and 3 peating ucl but who’s actually better during those 3 years overall and was Rooney the best teammate ronaldo ever had?

Rooney.
Nigh on complete player.
All the skill but on top of that, a tenacity that you don’t often see. He’d lose the ball, get up, tear back, slide tackle and start the attack again. Long balls, short one-twos and unreal strength and power.
Agreed, definitely underrated by some. Catches some flack I guess for being the talisman of Manchester United and many people not liking the club. Rooney is 3rd all time in Premier League goals and 3rd all time in assists (although will he surpassed by De Bruyne imminently) - to be top 5 in both is one hell of an achievement.
His prime playing for England was difficult, if you look at the quality of his teammates back then compared to them depth of talent someone like Kane is supported with now, it makes sense.
