Ryan Giggs believes that Manchester United team-mate Wayne Rooney is fast becoming one of the best players in the world game.

The 24-year-old has already passed the 20-goal mark for the Red Devils this season and veteran Giggs feels that Rooney's form compares favourably with that of the likes of Kaka, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Giggs told the Manchester Evening News: "He is getting nearer that group. You have seen it for England and for us on the bigger stages. That is what all the top players do.

"The best thing is that Wayne is still developing. He is 24 now, but he is only going to get better. His appetite is strong and he is a great player to have in your team.

"Even if he is not playing well he still causes problems for the other team. That is a very rare quality.

"Even with players who are genuine match-winners, if they are not playing so well, normally you don't see them.

"But if Wayne is not having the best of games, which is not very often, he never gives up.

"He believes he is going to create chances. He believes he will get them and he believes he is going to score goals. Wayne has taken his game to another level."
