Rooney has produced a series of outstanding performances this month; he has scored 6 goals, and in the process soared to the top of the Barclay’s Race for the Golden Boot. This has made him the first player to reach 20 goals this season.

Last games victory against Arsenal, we expected no less from Rooney for the outstanding goal putting the match out of Arsenal’s reach. However, it was the United vs. Hull City game that had he had the highlight of the month, he scored 4 goals that game, for the 4-0 win. Rooney has now scored 20 goals, in just 23 matches this season.

Rooney has now won Barclay’s Player of the Month award 5 times, placing him level with Steven Gerrard; as the player with the highest number of individual monthly awards. We expect many more to come.
