Man Utd captain Rooney: Still plenty of goals left in me

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney is happy to be played up front by Jose Mourinho this season.

Rooney is still hungry for goals and needs five more to pass Sir Bobby Charlton's record of 249 for United.

He has already broken Sir Bobby's record of 49 England goals — and now has 53 for his country.

Rooney said: “I have scored goals all through my career and have no doubt in my scoring ability.

“Hopefully, I can do that this season. It will be the same as the England record.

“It will be a huge honour to become record scorer at this club. I have no doubt that it will happen this season."
