Football.co.uk readers have spoken, and you rate Wayne Rooney as currently the best footballer on the planet.

The Manchester United and England star just can't stop scoring at the moment, and is arguably in the best form of his career ahead of this summer's World Cup finals in South Africa.

His hot streak prompted 41.1% of you to conclude he is the best in the world right now, ahead of Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi.

Barcelona star Messi came a close second with 36.4% of the vote, followed by former United man Cristiano Ronaldo, on 10.2%.

In fourth and fifth place are Messi's Barca team-mates Zlatan Ibrahimovic, with 1.8%, and Xavi, attracting 1.4%.

9.1% of you voted 'other', with some Facebook posts suggesting Steven Gerrard and Didier Drogba deserved consideration.
