As one fan : "Rooney has to be the most overated English footballer of all time."

While another added: "Rooney over Ronaldhino is crazyyy."

A third then put: "Rooney over Ronaldhino come on Harry."

But the England legend was eventually dropped by Zinedine Zidane, who Redknapp even picked over his son Jamie.
