Twitter reacts to the news that Wayne Rooney is England Player of the Year

Predictable response

Simon Lloyd

After his struggles with Manchester United this season, Wayne Rooney has not been the world’s most popular footballer.

With that in mind, some of the reactions to the announcement that has been voted England’s Player of the Year for 2015 shouldn’t surprise us.

Here’s a quick look at how Twitter reacted to the news of Rooney’s latest award:

Some found it hilarious…

Whereas others were simply in disbelief…

Even some of his supporters found it difficult to justify…

There were plenty who believed the accolade should have gone to others…

But in a year when he overtook Sir Bobby Charlton’s all time goalscoring record, some clearly believe that Rooney is still the best option for his country.
