Wayne Rooney breaks Sir Bobby Charlton's Man United scoring record Wayne Rooney has broken Sir Bobby Charlton's all-time goal-scoring record for Manchester United with his 250th for the club in a 1-1 draw at Stoke City. Rooney, 31, levelled the record with his 249th goal in the FA Cup third-round game against Reading two weeks ago, then struck again in injury time at the bet 365 Stadium to move ahead of England and United legend Charlton.
The striker produced a superb free kick four minutes into injury time to save United from defeat and extend their unbeaten run to 13 games.
Charlton's goals came from 758 appearances between 1956 and 1973, while Rooney's have come from 546 after he joined the club from Everton in 2004.
Rooney overtook Charlton to become England's all-time top scorer after netting his 50th goal for the Three Lions with an 84th-minute penalty in a 2-0 Euro 2016 qualifying win against Switzerland in September 2015.
His international tally now stands on 53 from 119 caps and is closing on Peter Shilton's record of 125 appearances for his country.
