The Professional Footballer Association's 33rd annual awards dinner, to be held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London, will take place on Sunday April 23, with the six nominees in each of the two categories confirmed.
Last year's winner, John Terry, and Chelsea team-mates Frank Lampard and Joe Cole, Liverpool's Steven Gerrard and Arsenal's Thierry Henry also make the shortlist for the main accolade.
Rooney is a contender for the young player accolade along with his Reds' team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo, Darren Bent (Charlton), Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal), Anton Ferdinand (West Ham) and Aaron Lennon (Tottenham).
