HOT – Wayne Rooney

Wayne Rooney drew level with Sir Bobby Charlton as Manchester United’s record goal-scorer by netting his 249th goal for the Red Devils in their 4-0 victory over Reading on Saturday.

The England captain has been edging closer to Charlton’s 43-year record over the course of the season, and he drew level with the United legend just seven minutes into their FA Cup clash with the Royals when he finished from Juan Mata’s cross.

Rooney is England’s record goal-scorer, and now looks set to break the United record in the coming weeks, perhaps against Liverpool at Old Trafford next weekend?

A sensational achievement from a sensational footballer.
