Shevchenko: Man Utd striker Rooney stands alone as ultimate team player
Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Thu, 09/02/2010 - 13:05
AC Milan legend Andriy Shevchenko has heaped praise on Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney.
Sheva has returned to his first club Dynamo Kiev after successful spells in Italy with AC Milan and a mixed period at Chelsea after moving in 2006 for a fee of £30 million.
On Rooney, Shevchenko told Four Four Two magazine: “No player in modern football can match his efficiency and work-rate, and he’s not egotistical like many men of his speciality.
“He’s the sort of magnificent team player every coach wants in his starting XI.”

Let me guess, should I listen to some ignorant, no-life people opinion or a LEGEND's opinion who happens to know football more than you people combined.
Wayne Rooney is currently the best. and if you don't think so, let's try to swap Messi and Rooney's teams.. We'll see who's going to be better. ;)
Rooney is overrated but works hard for the team. I just wish he was a natural goal scorer.
Most overrated ----- YES!
Most piglike ---- YES!
The only good thing about him is that he's not brazilian.
