Not only has Wayne Rooney seen an increase in his rating from FIFA 14, but he also becomes Manchester United's highest-rated player in its successor with a blockbuster score of 88. That puts the striker one point up on his score last year and it's deserved considering he has to carry United on his own back at times last season. With Robin van Persie's aforementioned injury woes and Javier Hernandez and Danny Welbeck's inconsistent performances, it was up to Rooney to bang the goals in and he duly obliged, putting away 17 in the Premier League to finish as United's top scorer for the 2013-14 campaign. It would seem a logical choice then to gradually raise the England man's performance rating and that's exactly what EA have done, according to the leaks. It remains to be seen if these player ratings prove legitimate and at this stage we must take them with a pinch of salt, but if they are accurate, then it's perhaps a good thing we haven't seen scores for the likes of Tom Cleverley and Ashley Young. Let us know what you think about these leaked ratings in the comments thread, below.
