Player assessment

In this whole season, i feel that without any doubt, Rooney is Manchester United's player of the season. He is the heart and soul of this team. He is the main player now. And sooner or later, he would become the leader.

Rooney scored the most goals he has ever scored in a season, 34. This is a amazing feat as not many strikers are able to reach the 30 goal mark. I feel that Rooney has not reached his best, his peak yet. He is still a young footballer, improving every single match. Rooney is selfless, compared to Ronaldo who seldoms passess the ball and always tries to score a goal on his own. Rooney is nothing like Ronaldo. Rooney passes when he should pass, and shoots whenever he should shoots. This is why Rooney is now the best player in the England squad now. He does the right thing at the right time. Sadly, he was hit by a sprained ankle in the first leg of the champions league quarter finals, and since then, he has not scored.

The player that made the most improvement is Nani. When Ronaldo was still in the team, Nani tried to hard to be like Ronaldo. He wanted to live up to the fans expectations of him as the next Ronaldo, hence he tried to copy Ronaldo by doing unnecessary tricks. But this season, he has finally step out of Ronaldo's shadow and turned into a wonderful, selfless winger. For the last part of the season, he was absolutely brilliant. He was magnificent. Hopefully, next season he would show the same kind of form or even better.

Next season, United must take the title back from Chelsea. All the way united!
