Ibrahimovic has enjoyed an impressive second season in the U.S., scoring 30 goals in 29 appearances and providing seven assists.

The forward was also the highest paid player in MLS this season, earning a league record $7.2 million this season.

There will be changes to the list next year with Rooney leaving MLS to join English side Derby County, whilst Schweinsteiger is retiring from football at the end of the season.

Seattle Sounders forward Jordan Morris (sixth) is the only U.S. international to make the top 10.

Former Manchester United forward Nani (ninth), Atlanta United goalkeeper Brad Guzan (18) and U.S. international Jozy Altidore (23rd) were ranked in the top 25.
