Wayne Rooney: Man Utd forward 'most under-appreciated player in England'

Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney is the most under-appreciated player in English football, says former Wales international Robbie Savage.

Rooney is the record goal-scorer for both United and England.

But the 31-year-old has started only 22 games this season and has hinted he may have to leave Old Trafford this summer in order to ensure first-team football.

"He gets hammered and yet he is Manchester United's and England's top goal-scorer," Savage told BBC 5 live.

"He is a professional, his work ethic is very good, you can see his temperament is still the same.
