Charlton struck 249 goals for the Red Devils during his spell at the club, while Rooney currently has 168 goals to his name.

"Just seen I'm sixth on the all-time scoring records at Manchester United. Not sure if it's true but if it is I am very proud," Rooney tweeted.

"My aim is to win more trophies and become all-time leading scorer at the club. It would be amazing...81 more!"

Rooney, 26, has scored 21 goals in 28 games this season.
