Premier League’s most dangerous revealed…
Judging by the combined total of their goals and assists, these six superstars have been more effective in the final third than anyone else in the Premier League so far…
First up is the country’s highest paid player, and England’s widely renowned ‘World Cup hope’, Wayne Rooney…
4= Wayne Rooney (Manchester United)
Games played: 20 (2)
Goals: 10
Assists: 9
Goals + assists: 19
Rooney is deployed in a deeper, withdrawn no.10 role for United, and is as effective creatively as he is clinical. He almost averages a goal or an assist per match, and he’s been the undoubted bright spark of a fairly miserable season at Old Trafford…
It will now be down to the Englishman to prove he’s worth his mammoth £300k-per-week contract extension, and drag United but to the top of the Premier League table where they belong.
