Carlo Ancelotti has hailed Manchester United frontman
Wayne Rooney as the best player in the world. Rooney has netted 7 goals in the last 4 games and has been indispensable in getting United maximum points to challenge Chelsea at the top.
Saturday's 5-0 win over Portsmouth FC put the Red Devils at the top of the Premiership, but
Chelsea can overtake them with a win against Arsenal on Sunday.
Chelsea boss
Carlo Ancelotti claims that Rooney's form is the only thing keeping the Blues from running away with the title race.
Ancelotti explains: "At this moment he is the best in the world.
"
Manchester are using
Rooney very well right now. He improves his quality with every game and I am surprised his level never drops. Instead he always improves his performance.
"It's not just good for United but also the national team. To have him in this condition is important for the World Cup.
"The whole United team has the experience to fight until the end of the season."
Rooney's recent run of form has made him the leading goalscorer in the Barclays Premier League and the young striker shows no signs of slowing.
