Rooney is England's greatest ever, says Herrera

The Spanish maestro lauded his teammate's performance in Manchester United's win at Everton, and believes the striker has earned himself a place in history.

Wayne Rooney is the greatest player in the history of English football, according to Manchester United teammate Ander Herrera.
The Red Devils' captain completed the scoring for his team following a pass from Herrera, in a 3-0 victory on his return to the club that gave him his steps in the professional game.
And Herrera, who doubled United's lead following Morgan Schneiderlin's opener, has no doubts that the striker's record has established him as an all-time great.
"He [Rooney] did great work for us. He is very important for England and also for us," Herrera told MUTV. "He is our leader, the best English player in history, so we have to enjoy him and it is going to help us a lot.
"When you have your captain in good form, scoring goals and if he is happy then it is very important for us."
Rooney's strike at Goodison Park was his second Premier League goal in three games, after he endured a quiet start to the season.
Herrera got his first league start since United's 3-1 win against Liverpool in September meanwhile, and repaid Louis van Gaal's faith with a dominant performance in midfield. Do we agree to this claim?
