Fergie is convinced that his young charge has been far and wide the best player this term...Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has put forward the argument that nobody is more deserving of the FWA (Football Writers' Association) Footballer of the Year award than Wayne Rooney.
The England international is currently in top form, having scored twice and set up three goals last weekend against Tottenham Hotspur, as well as impressing against Arsenal in midweek and Middlesbrough on the weekend.
"I don't think anyone could argue with him as Footballer of the Year. He's certainly been consistent enough," trumpeted Ferguson in a recent interview in The Observer.
On top of his invaluable offensive contribution, Rooney has continued to show himself to be more than prepared to make sacrifices for the team, doing no small amount of tracking back from the wide-left role that he is looking increasingly suited to.
"Wayne is actually starting to enjoy playing on the left now. He's still scoring goals, but in a different way," added the United boss.
"Where he eventually settles down depends on the make-up of the rest of the team, but he's capable of playing anywhere in a forward position and the great thing is he's happy to make any position work."
Rooney, 23, recently went on record as saying that he would happily spend the rest of his career at Old Trafford.
