The history books for Manchester
United were re-written on
Saturday as Wayne Rooney officially
became the club’s first player to
officially score up to 250 goals.
The 250th goal scored by Rooney was
indeed a very important one as he
saved the Red Devils from defeat,
forcing a 1-1 draw against Stoke City.
Rooney, who had signed for United
in 2004, was brought in as a
substitute as United trailed 0-1 away
at Stoke.
With United missing a number of
chances in the first half, the game
looked set to end in disappointment
for the Red Devils before Rooney’s
late intervention which was a
masterfully taken free-kick into the
top corner of the net.
Bobby Charlton was initially the
record goal scorer for United with
249 goals.
