Premier League legend Wayne Rooney has revealed his top three standout performers of the current season, and his picks may surprise many fans.

Speaking on Amazon Prime, the former Manchester United striker highlighted players whose impact has been impossible to ignore—Antoine Semenyo, Bryan Mbeumo, and Viktor Gyokeres.

Rooney praised Antoine Semenyo, noting that the Bournemouth forward has carried his excellent form from last season into the new campaign. According to him, Semenyo’s energy, creativity, and consistency have made him one of the league’s most impressive players so far.

The second name on his list is Bryan Mbeumo, who Rooney says has been “really good for Manchester United” despite the club’s rocky start to the season. Mbeumo’s pace, work rate, and attacking threat have earned him praise even in challenging moments for the team.

Completing Rooney’s top three is Viktor Gyokeres of Arsenal. The striker, known for his physical presence and sharp finishing, has quickly become a key figure for Mikel Arteta’s side.

Rooney didn’t focus on popularity or big names—his picks spotlight players who have stepped up, delivered consistently, and shaped their teams’ performances this season.
