Contender for World Player of the Year 09/10.

There is no question who is the in form player at the current moment.

The year of the World Cup is set to be the year Wayne Rooney stamps his mark as the best player on the planet.

I have long admired Rooney since he signed on as a kid at Old Trafford. The boy is pure passion and hunger, an insatiable desire to be the best there is, not just in the league but in the world.

He is becoming the complete player Alex Ferguson envisioned him to be. And this year, playing in his favourite role upfront has seen him unleashing his deadly instinct in front of goal, an instinct that was curbed when he was played on the left to accomodate another great player Cristiano Ronaldo. Two goals against AC Milan left the Italian giants reeling. It was no doubt that we are witnessing the best times of the Wayne Rooney show now.

Destined to be a legend at Old Trafford, there is no player that comes close to Rooney's complete package he brings onto the pitch everytime. A ferocious competitor, a hard tackler and a tireless worker are not often the attributes you will associate with a striker but that is Wayne Rooney the player, the one man show at times in Man Utd's testing season without Ronaldo.

Will we see Rooney collect the Ballon D'Or at the end of the season? To do that, Man Utd needs to win the Champions League and England will need to do well at the World Cup. I like the chances of both, with Man Utd coming into form and England under the tight rein of Fabio Capello. And with arguably the best player Wayne Rooney turning matches on their back like he did in Milan, I say the chances are great.

Over the moon, we got the Roon !!
