Rooney targets Charlton's record

Wayne Rooney has set his sights on beating Sir Bobby Charlton's goalscoring record at Manchester United.

Charlton found the net on 249 occasions during his 17 seasons at Old Trafford.

Rooney, who currently has 175 goals to his name, is hoping that he will "one day" surpass Charlton's total.

"It would be an unbelievable feeling if I could get his record. I'm still a long way away but hopefully, one day, I will be able to do it," said the England international.

The 26-year-old joined United in 2004 from Everton.
