Man Utd's Rooney not fussed by Ronaldo record

Manchester United star Wayne Rooney says he is not worried about trying to break Cristiano Ronaldos' 42-goal barrier he set two seasons ago.

Rooney is now up to 32 goals this season and with about 13 games remaining is a good chance to get to that milestone but he admits he has not even thought about it.

"It wouldn't mean a lot to me and it's not something I've looked at," he said.

"It's nice to score goals and I want to score goals in every game, but what Cristiano achieved is unbelievable. But I'm a different person and a different player so I'm not comparing myself to him."
