JUST IN: Rooney equals Man Utd all time scoring record.

Wayne Rooney has secured his place in Manchester United history after equalling Sir Bobby Charlton's scoring record for the club.

The 31-year-old's FA Cup strike against Reading on Saturday took him to 249 in 543 games, reaching the landmark 215 matches and four seasons quicker than Charlton.

The record had stood since 1973 but Rooney now seems certain to beat it.

In 2015, Rooney surpassed World Cup winner Charlton's England scoring record of 49 goals and has since taken his tally to 53 for the national team.

United won 4 - 0 on the day in their FA Cup clash against Reading. Rooney opened the scoring with Anthony Martial adding a second and Marcus Rashford scoring the third and fourth goals.
