Wayne Rooney breaks Manchester United all-time goals record with unbelievable free kick

Sir Bobby Charlton’s record is no more after this sensational strike.

Wayne Rooney is now the all-time leading scorer in Manchester United history after breaking Sir Bobby Charlton’s record on Saturday. And he did it in style, scoring a late equalizer against Stoke City with this sensational free kick:

This was the 250th goal of Rooney’s Manchester United career, which has spanned 13 seasons. He’s never failed to score double-digit goals in a campaign for the Red Devils, and his career best goals tally in one season is 34, achieved twice.

Rooney’s become a bit part player for United this season as his physical abilities have declined, but Jose Mourinho still likes to turn to him when United needs a goal late in games. He’s still a star in short bursts, and he showed off why with this goal.
