Wayne Rooney's Erling Haaland snub: Man United legend names his top three Premier League players of the season so far, including surprise Arsenal star - but there's no place for 14-goal Man City striker

Wayne Rooney has named his three players of the Premier League season so far ahead of the return of domestic football this weekend.

But rather than plumping for some of the bigger names currently at the top of their game in the English top flight, Rooney named stars who proved somewhat divisive on social media.

When posed the question by Amazon Prime Sport, the Manchester United legend first named Antoine Semenyo, who has notched up a tidy six Premier League goals and a further three assists in his 11 matches for Bournemouth.
