Rooney revels in player of the year accolade

WAYNE ROONEY was named PFA Player of the Year last night. Rooney’s selection ahead of Cesc Fabregas, Carlos Tevez and Didier Drogba means United have supplied the winner of the award for a fourth successive year.

The 24-year-old has been in sensational form, scoring 34 goals for United and eight for England.

“It’s a great feeling to win because it’s voted for by the players,” said Rooney. “It’s something I’m really proud of.”
