7. Red Hot Wayne

Wayne Rooney toiled under Sir Alex Ferguson in the Scot's final season in charge, struggling to usurp Robin van Persie as United's main striker and publicly having his fitness called into question by the boss as the relationship between the two rapidly deteriorated. However, under David Moyes it has been a different story, with the England international enjoying a red hot run of form under his former boss at Everton that saw him overtake Robbie Fowler on December 1 as the Premier League's outright fifth leading goalscorer with 164 strikes in England's topflight. Only Alan Shearer (260), Andy Cole (189), Thierry Henry (175) and Frank Lampard (169) have scored more.
