Wayne Rooney gunning for goalscoring record

Rooney gunning for record

Wayne Rooney has set his sights on becoming Manchester United's all-time record goalscorer.

Rooney is currently on 175 goals for United, just four short of Dennis Viollet and George Best who are level in fourth spot, while Bobby Charlton still holds the record of 249.

"It would be an unbelievable feeling if I could get his record," said Rooney.

"I'm still a long way away, but hopefully, one day I will be able to do it.

"[Viollet and Best] are obviously club legends and to be in touching distance of their goal tally is something I'm really proud of and hopefully I will overtake them soon."

Rooney has scored 21 goals in the Premier League this season.
