Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard has declared Wayne Rooney a great role model.

Rooney broke United's all-time scoring record in sumptuous fashion on Saturday, bending home an exceptional free-kick to secure a last-gasp 1-1 draw at Stoke.

"It's an excellent record and for the young strikers coming through," Lingard said.

"Wayne has set a great example for them and we look up to him as a great leader and role model.

"It was mixed emotions, but we know it's a great record that Wayne has set and it's a great standard for the youngsters to look up to."
