TWITTER SPECIAL: Man Utd greats past and present pay tribute to record breaker Rooney

Manchester United stars have paid tribute to England's new all-time leading goalscorer Wayne Rooney.


Rooney managed to create history during England's 2-0 victory over Switzerland on Tuesday night by scoring the goal which put him ahead of Sir Bobby Charlton's previous record of 49 as the Three Lions' greatest ever goalscorer.

While Rooney may have his detractors, breaking the 45-year old record was certainly no mean feat and a host of United stars have gone on to praise to the record breaker following his fantastic achievement.
