“His goal ratio is incredible and I’m sure he will be missed at Manchester City. I’m sure the Premier League will miss a player of his quality.

“From my point of view, I’d just to congratulate him on his career over here.

“Whether he stays in England or not obviously I don’t know but he’s certainly had a fantastic career with Manchester City.”

“Aguero has been fantastic and is certainly right up there,” added Rooney.

“But if I was asked to choose then I’d probably say Thierry Henry was the best foreign player.

“There’s a few in a pack just behind him who are right up there like Aguero, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Dennis Bergkamp and Eric Cantona.”
