Wayne Rooney has become the highest goalscorer in Manchester United s history, breaking Bobby Charlton s record.
The United captain has won five Premier League titles, the Champions League, the FA Cup, two League Cups and the Club World Cup during his 12-and-a-half years at Old Trafford.
Now, he holds the club s outright goalscoring record, which had been held by Charlton since he left in 1973.
Here, we look at Opta data to review the best stats from Rooney s record-breaking haul of 250 goals.
180 – Rooney s record-breaking goals tally has included 180 in the Premier League. Charlton, meanwhile, scored 199 of his in league play.
39 – Rooney has scored 39 times in European competition – a club record achieved in November when he surpassed Ruud…
Liverpool won their fourth Premier League on the bounce on Friday evening by beating Leicester City at Anfield. They won the game and booked extremely important three points, and they did so without scoring a single goal. Leicester defender Wout Faes did that for them, twice, after Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored an early opener for the Foxes.
What s wrong with Liverpool s defending?
In a nutshell, everything. Apart from Thiago Alcantara working tirelessly to help in saving his team at the back time and again, nothing really worked the way it should have.
The quartet of Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson is deemed by many as Liverpool s best defensive line, but they certainly didn t look it in this match. Leicester scored from what was …
Vietnam head coach Park Hang-seo said he expects Jordan to take an aggressive approach when the two teams meet in the Asian Cup last 16, but promised to find weaknesses in Vital Borkelmans in-form side.
Jordan defied their FIFA world ranking of 109 to finish top of Group B after claiming wins over Australia and Syria and picking up a draw against Palestine.
Park s men were less emphatic, advancing to the knockout stage as the fourth-best third-placed team after suffering defeats to Iraq and Iran in Group D but clinching a vital 2-0 win over Yemen.
We have already played strong teams in this competition, such as Iran and Iraq, said Park.
Jordan are also well organised and well prepared and that s why they got first place in their group ahead of Austral…
Manchester City booked their place in the fifth round of the FA Cup with a 2-0 win at Cardiff City but left the Welsh capital with fears over the fitness of winger Leroy Sane.
A clever eighth minute free-kick from Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling s 19th goal of the season were due rewards for first-half dominance and came either side of a scintillating Bernardo Silva strike that was controversially ruled out for offside.
Sane was trying to add to the Championship side s misery before the break, embarking upon a storming counter-attacking run that was halted when an ugly, lunging challenge from Joe Bennett took away his left ankle.
He made way for Sergio Aguero to play his part in a second half gripped by a feeling of formality but attention will now turn to ho…
Exasperated Erik ten Hag admitted Manchester United are not good enough to play on a high level consistently after Bournemouth made history with their first-ever Old Trafford win.
This has been a challenging second season in the dugout for the Dutchman, whose side collapsed in humiliating fashion just three days after impressively beating Chelsea.
Star man Dominic Solanke put Bournemouth ahead after five minutes on Saturday, with Philip Billing and Marcos Senesi headers securing a 3-0 Premier League triumph that could have been worse for United.

Paris Saint-Germain s appeal against UEFA s decision to reopen an investigation into alleged breaches of Financial Fair Play rules has been upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
UEFA confirmed last September that it was looking again at a probe into PSG s financial conduct, which was first opened in September 2017 in the wake of the world-record €222million signing of Neymar and the €180m loan-to-buy deal for Kylian Mbappe.
UEFA s Club Financial Control Board closed the investigation last June after deciding PSG had complied with FFP rules but reopened it after a review.
However, CAS has now ruled that the original decision to close the case is final and binding after upholding PSG s claim that the CFCB s request for a review was made outside of…
Free-scoring Manchester City are the first team to have scored five or more goals in three consecutive top-flight matches for almost 60 years.
Blackburn Rovers achieved the feat in the 1958-89 season and Pep Guardiola s side matched that return with Saturday s 5-0 demolition of Premier League basement boys Crystal Palace.
Leroy Sane opened the scoring a minute before half time and the league leaders were rampant after the interval – Raheem Sterling hitting a double before Sergio Aguero and substitute Fabian Delph got in on the act.
City beat 10-man Liverpool by the same scoreline in their previous home game before dispatching Watford 6-0 at Vicarage Road last weekend.

Plymouth Argyle battled back from conceding an early goal to claim a 1-1 draw away to QPR in the Championship, despite finishing the game with just nine players.
They endured a dismal start after forward Michael Frey headed past goalkeeper Conor Hazard from a corner to put the home side a goal ahead after just three minutes.
But Wayne Rooney s side rallied and equalised in the 28th minute through a magnificent long-range strike from Morgan Whittaker, which was their only shot on target.
The Plymouth attacker had originally played a misplaced pass, which ricocheted off a QPR defender and landed straight back at his feet. The 23-year-old hit the ball first time with his left foot and it rocketed into the top right corner of the goal.
But things got worse fo…
According to a recent report from El Desmarque, Paris Saint-Germain will turn their attention towards both Jadon Sancho and Kai Havertz if they are unable to secure a new deal for Brazilian sensation Neymar.
The two parties are believed to be in talks over locking Neymar down to a new long-term contract, which comes in the wake of increased interest from Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Of course, the sort of resources that PSG has at their disposal always ensures that there’s a pretty good chance they’ll have the finances necessary to go out and make a big purchase of their own.
Kai Havertz of Bayer Leverkusen is one name on the lips of the higher-ups, but the primary target seems to be Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho who has also be…
Real Madrid have reached an agreement in principle with Luka Modric about a 12-month extension of his contract, according to .
The 35-year-old midfielder joined Real in 2012 for a reported fee of €35 million after four years with Tottenham Hotspur. Since then, he has gone on to make a total of 363 appearances for the Spanish giants, scoring 25 goals and laying on 56 assists for his teammates. He has so far helped the team to two La Liga titles, one Copa del Rey, and no less than four Champions League trophies, and he has a Ballon d Or on his shelf as well. At the age of 35, Modric remains a regular starter and a key player under Zinedine Zidane.
The current deal between Real and the 136-time Croatia international was set to expire at the end of this season, but he ll …
