Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney is aiming to surpass Lionnel Messi and become the best player in the world.
The England international is already working hard on his game preparing for the next campaign, with glowing results already this preseason with the striker looking sharp whilst on tour in the States.
The 25-year old believes Messi is the man to beat if he is to claim the football’s most prestigious prize of World Player of the Year. Rooney said:
“Messi is a great player and rightly World Player of the Year.
“For every footballer out there, not just me, that’s the target you want to try to get to and, hopefully, I can.
“I want to do well all the time and know I can always improve.
“I work hard every day to try to achieve that so it’ll be great for me and the club if I do.”
