Well done, fully deserved. His last 2 seasons haveny been the best but I like him in this new role as a squad player. Brings loads of experience and a lot of quality off the bench still. Happy for him though.
Wayne Rooney: Manchester United All Time Top Goalscorer
- Thread starter Rado_N
- Start date
A great achievement.
devilish's testimonial, now that would be a sight. Of course, I imagine it more like a roast.
The past counts alot but paying handsomely a former player to keep on playing football is stupid
Brilliant! But shouldn't we wait until he's actually overtaken Sir Bobby's record? They're tied now afaik.
Err he hasn't beaten the record yet.
Then make a thread to discuss that.
He's equalled it.
The answer to the question "who is United's all time top goalscorer?" Is "Sir Bobby Charlton and Wayne Rooney", so the title is accurate.
Title doesn't say he has beaten the record though! He's our all time top goalscorer. Fact. Even it it's alongside Sir Bobby at the moment.
Congratulations Wayne.
Congratulations Wayne.
So stick "Joint" in the title then.
Couldn't agree more, he was at the heart of almost every chance we created today. Congratulations to him, it's a great achievement!
Ah not to forget how much dedication he'd shown throughout the years. I think he only handled a transfer request once or twice right? What a legend.
Maybe we'll play some 3rd division team later on. He might be useful to have around again
No.
Bit premature Rado?, he's only equal for now but I'm sure he'll get it.
Congratulations Wayne, brilliant signing and has provided some great moments over the years.

Great achievement. It is always great to see positive records broken by the club/players
Neither of those things are true.
If you're so desperate for attention and had to be the one to make this thread at least do it right.
Good bargaining chip with China.
You're the one making a spectacle of yourself.

Spoke far too soon
predicably soHe's still top goal scorer even if he is equal top.
Congratulations Rooney, it's an amazing career achievement. I don't think you can blame him for the media insistence that he's still brilliant (though some would argue that he can be blamed for that!) though it is frustrating. It's important to look past that and look at his whole career, not just the last few seasons
Don't talk about like that about this legend. He's still relevant you know....just in case we play another testimonial game soon. That unless of course the legend decide to handle another transfer request
Rooney has another 10 years in him, form is temporary and class as they say.....
Congrats. Great player. Great career.
How did he not get the second goal today! Hope he beats the record vs Liverpool 
Great achievement. Not many players stay at a club long enough to achieve something like this.
Its a fantastic achievement, to be on a level with one of our greatest players. Whats the games to goals between them?
It's pathetic that people can't seem to find any positive in relation to Rooney even when he has achieved something remarkable today. There are other threads to moan about his heavy touches, let's flog him to China and he is a legend/not legend debate.
He was once a top quality player. Now where near to Ronaldo who was like 10 times better then him but he was world class at times.
Threads like these are going to look really weird to future people seeking them out. "Why is the thread congratulating one of our greatest players breaking our goal scoring record full of so many wankers moaning about it?"
Well done to Wayne for a phenomenal achievement. The trajectory of his career at United might not be what I had expected after his CL debut but to equal Sir Bobby by the age of 31 is still brilliant.
People are weird.
Charltons top figures?
