Roooooooney - Tribute to Man Utd record-breaker outside Old Trafford

The Red Devils captain became the club's all-time leading goalscorer on Saturday when he found the target for the 250th time in a 1-1 draw with Stoke.

Having drawn level with Sir Bobby Charlton at the top of Manchester United’s all-time goalscoring chart, Wayne Rooney ended up having to wait just two weeks before pulling clear on his own.

A landmark moment in an already glittering career arrived at the bet365 Stadium on Saturday, as the Red Devils skipper swept home a dramatic late free-kick.

His effort earned Jose Mourinho’s men a point on the day, but of greater note was the fact that he now has 250 goals in United colours.

No player in the history of one of world football’s most illustrious clubs can match that return, with Rooney adding that domestic title to the international record he already holds with England.

His status as an iconic figure of the modern era is now safely secured, with tributes having flooded in from across the globe for a man who has remained a consistent performer at the highest level.

Unsurprisingly, Old Trafford has been at the centre of those celebrations, with the Manchester skyline lit up to honour the achievements of the Red Devils’ most potent frontman.
