Former Manchester United boss David Moyes has backed Wayne Rooney to break more records during his stellar career.

Rooney created history this season by breaking Sir Bobby Charlton's all time goalscoring record for England.

At 29, Rooney still has time to become United's all-time leading scorer as well and former Everton and Red Devils boss Moyes has now backed his former pupil to do so.

Speaking to The Mirror, Moyes said: "History has already judged him, because when you pick up the record books, there will be the name of Wayne Rooney.

"He has already surpassed Sir Bobby Charlton as England's leading goalscorer and I am sure he will go on to do the same at United.

"The England record is a great achievement, particularly when you look at the calibre of goalscorers before him – Sir Bobby, Jimmy Greaves, Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer, all great strikers.

"Wayne has shown that he belongs in that class and you have to score the goals to be top of the pile, which the record books show.

"For Wayne to be breaking records at his age is remarkable – and he is not finished yet. Form can go up and down, but Wayne's quality and ability has never been in doubt."
