Wayne Rooney

Even though he never quite reached the heights of Ronaldo or Messi (mainly due to their work ethic), he was viewed as the most naturally talented player. Perhaps he peaked too early and didn't have the same work ethic as Ronaldo, but during 2002-2006, people forget how terrifying he was. He was fast, powerful and ultra-diverse. Alex Ferguson would frequently deploy him in various roles as striker, playmaker, winger, and even in defensive midfield (which he was underrated in) to accommodate the other stars like Ronaldo and Persie.

Another underrated aspect about Rooney was that he had that "team first" mentality, prioritizing his team's success over his own stats. That was what made Manchester United the elite team it was - allowing them to win multiple Premier League titles and Champions League.

For building a collection of Manchester United's top players, Wayne Rooney cards are a must have. Rooney has cemented himself as one of the best players ever being the all-time record goal-scorer for Manchester United and England.
