Wayne Rooney has equalled Manchester United’s all-time goalscoring
record, after he netted his 249th strike for the club against Reading in
their 3rd round Emirates FA Cup tie on Saturday.
The 31-year-old who only returned to the squad after recovering from
injury, put United 1-0 up after turning home Juan Mata’s pass.
The goal took him level with the record set by Sir Bobby Charlton between 1956 and 1973.
Rooney signed for the Red Devils in a £27million transfer from
Everton in 2004. He has reached the 249-goal mark four years and 215
games quicker than Charlton managed.
His record-equalling goal came in just his 543rd game for the club.
He is now odds-on to break the record with many games left to play this season.
United went on to defeat Reading 4-0, with Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford (twice) scoring
