Rooney Won the PFA Player of The Year !!!

Congratulations !!!

Loudest clap for our promising youngster, Wayne Rooney for the prestigious awards. Let us read the comments courtesy of The Guardian; Wayne Rooney showed no signs of his recent injury problems tonight as he collected the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year award, and confirmed as much afterwards when he allayed any fears he could miss the World Cup by saying he will be fit to take his place among the leading lights in South Africa this summer.

The 24-year-old has been in sensational form this season, scoring 34 goals for United and eight for England, and is key to the nation's World Cup hopes. But a spate of injuries have caused mild panic that the England coach, Fabio Capello, might be forced to go to South Africa without his star man.The Manchester United striker who has only just returned from an ankle problem, missed yesterday's 3-1 victory over Tottenham with a groin injury sustained in training. But the Barclays Premier League's top scorer hopes to return for United's campaign finale against Stoke on Sunday 9 May and promised he would be ready for the World Cup."The groin will be fine for the World Cup, there are no worries about that," he said. "I'm hoping to play for United in the last game of the season."If that is good news for Capello, being named the first Englishman to win the PFA's top award since Steven Gerrard in 2006 was a big thrill for Rooney. "It's a great feeling to win the player of the year award because it's voted for by the players," he said."It's something I'm really proud of and it's a great honour. I remember coming here in 2005 and 2006 to win the young player of the year. I saw the players winning the main one and it's something I've aimed for since."Rooney also paid tribute to the influence that United's manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, has had on his career. "Sir Alex is a great manager who has really brought me on as a player since I joined United," he said. "His hunger passes through to the players. It's great to see that he's pushing 70 and hasn't changed a bit. I'm sure he'll be here for a long time yet."Rooney was also nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year but that award went to James Milner of Aston Villa. Milner appears to have played himself into Capello's World Cup squad with a string of outstanding performances and the 24-year-old midfielder credited a change in position for his success this season. "I've been moved into the middle and that suits me as it helps me influence the game a bit more," said Milner. "Maybe sometimes wide right you want to influence the game but you just can't get yourself into it."The former Leeds and South Africa captain Lucas Radebe, 41, won the PFA Merit award.
