Your Papa - Victor Boniface savagely shuts down fan comparing him to Man United legend Rooney

Nigeria’s Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface recently delivered a sharp response to a fan who boldly claimed on social media that Boniface is a better striker than Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney. 

The fan’s tweet on X read: “If we're being honest, Victor Boniface is a better striker than Rooney.”

Boniface, known for his confident and straightforward personality, quickly shut down the comparison with a witty reply: “Ur papa sir,” effectively dismissing the claim and showing respect for Rooney’s legendary status while asserting his own identity.

The exchange shows Boniface’s growing presence both on and off the pitch for club and country. 

Despite some criticism over his international goal drought, the 24-year-old has been in impressive form at club level with Bayer Leverkusen, where he has won multiple individual awards and helped his team secure major victories.

Boniface’s rise has been meteoric, as he continues to develop under the guidance of coach Xabi Alonso. 

While there is room for improvement, especially after his recent performances, Boniface remains recognised as one of Africa’s brightest attacking talents.

This latest interaction with fans reflects Boniface’s no-nonsense approach to criticism and comparisons, emphasising his focus on carving out his own legacy rather than being measured against past greats.

Meanwhile, he will be hoping to end his four-game drought in all competitions when Leverkusen welcome Augsburg in the Bundesliga.

Boniface, who will come face-to-face with compatriot Frank Onyeka, has managed just eight goals in 19 matches, 12 of them as a starter.
