Jurgen Klopp’s men have been formidable in the 2019-2020 season as they comfortably sit 25 points clear at the top of the Premier League table and are six points away from being crowned champions.
As it stands now, the outbreak of Covid-19 is the only thing standing between Liverpool and their first league title since 1990.
Despite his Manchester United affiliation, Rooney believes Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane are the current best trio in the world.
In his column for The Sunday Times, the Derby County forward makes intriguing comparisons by likening the Reds’ front three to that of Totti’s time in Rome.
“I’ve been trying to explain how scoring is often down to players working together and the Liverpool front three are the perfect example,” the 34-year-old wrote.
“Mo Salah and Sadio Mané provide the depth by pushing teams back, which allows Roberto Firmino to come deep for the ball, the opposition centre backs relax and suddenly the other two make diagonal runs at incredible pace to attack the space.”
“It reminds me of how Roma used to play with Totti as No.10 and two quick runners attacking the box from wide.”
“It pains me to admit it, but Liverpool are the best attacking unit in world football at the moment.”
