Rooney earns PFA place

Wayne Rooney is Manchester United's sole representative in the PFA Team of the Year.

The Premier League's players voted Rooney, whose brace against Everton on Sunday took his season's tally to 26 in the league and 33 in all competitions, into the side alongside Arsenal forward Robin van Persie, who scooped the prestigious Player of the Year award.

It's the third time Rooney has been recognised by his fellow professionals with selection into the team, following similar storming seasons in 2005/06 and 2009/10.

There was no room for any other Reds, though, despite strong performances this term from the likes of Michael Carrick, Antonio Valencia and Jonny Evans.

Instead, four Manchester City players - Joe Hart, Vincent Kompany, David Silva and Yaya Toure - made the cut, while Tottenham Hotspur delivered three, including defender Kyle Walker, who took home the PFA Young Player of the Year gong.
