Alan Shearer feels his goalscoring record is safe from Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney.

The Newcastle and England legend bagged a staggering 260 top flight goals.

Rooney is just 66 goals behind, but doubts remain over his future at Old Trafford.

Shearer told The Mirror: “I thought Wayne Rooney would manage or would come near to making it.

“But he seems to be moving further away, and now plays a more retracted role at Manchester United."
