Inter Milan striker Diego Milito says Manchester United star Wayne Rooney is the most over-rated player in the game.
Milito says England superstar Rooney may not even be in the world’s top 20 players.
Milito told the Daily Star Sunday: “When we hear the English or anybody else in the world of football trying to compare Wayne Rooney with Messi, we find it laughable.
“Rooney is a very good player there is no doubt about that – but to put him on the same level as Messi is wrong. It’s not up for debate, it’s just wrong.
“We are looking at a player in Messi who, when he retires, may very well be the best player to have graced the game.
“How can he be compared to anybody currently playing, let alone a player who has never ever won World Player of the Year?
“While I don’t agree with it, I can understand Messi being compared to Kaka and Ronaldo, but Rooney? No, no, no.”
Milito added: “Like I said, I think Rooney is a very good player, maybe even a top 20 player in the world – but that doesn’t make him Messi, it doesn’t even make him close to Messi."

i think roony is good , at least he seldom dive like the other ex-MU R
Perhaps Roo's the best player in the English side, but best in the world alongside Messi, Kaka and Ronaldo?
I agree with Milito.
Perharps he is better than milito.
Rooney got no service at all. most of the time he has to drop deep to receive the ball.
over the years we heard a lot of talks about this or that english players was a gem but turn out they were over-rated.
nothing new.
the english are just not producing enough good players.

rooney gotta train more and surf sgf less!!!
not fair to rooney. the England team they build around him all dont like him one cos he from Man U.
It's not just Rooney.... the whole England team is over-rated!
but it's not their fault. The British press which fonds on talking BIG is to blame. England players probably believed in this hype and let it get to their heads.........
The German trouncing is a bloody good wake-up call........
i think england players have psychological problems. Anyway, they are over rated. I don't think they re worth their hefty pay checks.
my friend always say, "and he scores.. because the defender fails to clear."
thats english football.
haha...
