Manchester United boss David Moyes says Wayne Rooney is on target to break goalscoring records for club and country.
Rooney has scored 202 goals for Manchester United and is 47 adrift of Charlton's 249 standard.
And his midweek strike for England against Poland leaves him needing just 11 more to equal Sir Bobby's record of 49.
Moyes believes it's only a matter of time that the 27-year-old moves past one of the greatest players to ever grace the game.
"I do think that if Wayne stays injury-free, then he will get there," said Moyes.
"If he keeps up this level of performance, he will make another big dent in the records this season.
"And, once he does that, the finishing line would look that bit closer.
"It's a big season for Wayne for club and country and he's started well for both. I hope he does it because it would be an incredible achievement. When you think of the regard in which Sir Bobby is held at this club, then, if you broke his records, it would be something which would live with you forever.
"I think it would mean Wayne would achieve legendary status, so let's hope he achieves it."
