Is Wayne Rooney making the case to be called the best player in the world? Quite possibly yes.
He has been on a tear this Premier League season, scoring 21 goals in 29 matches and leading Manchester United to 2nd place in the EPL and just 1 point behind league leaders Chelsea, despite the high profile exit of Cristiano Ronaldo. But what makes the strongest case, is just how important are the goals that Rooney is netting. Many coming late in the game or in stoppage time where his strikes turn out to be game winners, such as his game winner against Manchester City yesterday in the Carling Cup semifinals.
