Man Utd legend Charlton backing Rooney to break all records

Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton believes Wayne Rooney is destined to write himself into the record books.

United director Charlton believes that Rooney will beat his record of 49 goals for England and take South Africa by storm. Rooney has scored 25 times in 58 international appearances.

“That would give me a great deal of pleasure,” said Charlton, who is also United’s all-time leading scorer with 249 goals. “He is right at the peak of his skill and, although there’ll be a lot of hype around him at the World Cup, I think he’ll perform as well as anyone there.”
