Wayne Rooney....

I mentioned in the last post that in my opinion Ronaldo wasn't Manchester United's best player. I sincerely do think that Wayne Rooney deserves this recognition. 
He's genuinely has the heart of a lion (or three). You get the feeling that he is the kind of player that doesn't care what position he plays in, as long as he is playing. We've seen it countless times for England and he has been a scolding hot red devil. We've seen him play across the front three and increasing in a left wing position. I think my argument is reinforced by the fact that he has played phenomenally wherever he has been placed.
He has excellent touch, an awesome workrate and a footballing mind which is simply great. His array of finishes is also something to be admired. Headers, left foot or right foot, he can apply either power or the required finesse. Let's not forget the agility that he also carries.
I think on his day, he can be one of the best players in the world and he certainly is a playing role-model for young players. You'll have to mind his foul mouth and temperament, although some would argue that is what makes him so loved by his fans.

Rooney is probably the best player for United, I'd have to agree. An all rounder. Runs the whole pitch, attacks and defends. May not be the most skillflly amazing and doesn't do fancy tricks on the pitch, but he does wht'as necessary and waht counts...shame he didn't turn up against Barca though.....

I'd agree with that. Was a shame in the Final, but i think a badly set up formation and with Messi on the same side of the pitch as him, he was always going to have a difficult game that night
