Heres why Rooney is better
When loses the ball -Rooney will chase.. Ronaldo will put hands on hips
When Losing -Rooney will defend.. Ronaldo will just stand around waiting for the ball
When attacking- Ronaldo will run on his own, going for glory.. Rooney will pass and run trying to work a goal.
When winning- Rooney tries for more goals.. Ronaldo dances around the ball
When the ball doesnt get to them -Again Rooney will chase.. Ronaldo throws his hands up in the air
Football isnt all about goals. Its about determination. Ronaldo has none. Rooney has buckets full
Is that enough evidence for you

No it's not evidence. Evidence is on the final score sheet. You don't win the league without scoring- scoring a lot of goals. Something Ronaldo has provided in volumes.
Determination is great, so is chasing the ball down field. But there are many lesser quality players that can do that job. I call that a role player, every team needs them. But every team needs a star as well.
And Ronaldo is the brightest one on Manchester right now. The rarer, of the two qualities mentioned- the role player versus the star. I'll pick the star first always. Since I can throw a meagerly 3 millions pounds for a ball chaser way more often, before I land the World FIFA Player of the world. Get it?
Yes Rooney is a star in his own right, but he's not the brightest on his team to date. That's Ronaldo. You just can't argue that. And in my opinion- the real reason why the two never got along well.
You need the ball chaser no doubt...but then the ball chaser always gives it to the playmaker...and if you think the bigger playmaker is Rooney...it doesn't show up on the score card. But you can see the tangible, affect with Ronaldo.
That's when rubber hits the road, Tevez and Rooney are the same...but you wouldn't compare Tevez surely to Ronaldo. Would you?
Keep the bias down and look at things objectively.
Ronaldo is the World Player of the Year. You don't get that by rolling on the ground, and having your hands constantly on your hips. Even though I think he does spend way to much time crying to officials and eating salad on the pitch.
