When will Wayne Rooney break the Man Utd goalscoring record?

As a former Evertonian and boyhood fan of the Merseyside blues, Northwest derbies have always seemed to fire up the frontman more than most and Rooney has a decent record of six goals and four assists against them.

Premier League v Stoke City (Saturday, January 21)

The Potters are always seen as a tough fixture away, so perhaps Rooney will be called upon to make the difference.

EFL Cup semi second leg v Hull (Thursday, January 26)

In this semi-final second leg, Rooney could conceivably get the chance to run riot after the Tigers were beaten 2-0 in the first leg fray at Old Trafford. There is a 7/2 price for the scorer record to be smashed at the KC Stadium.

FA Cup fourth round v Wigan Athletic (Saturday, January 28th)

Seen as Rooney’s record leveller arrived in the FA Cup, why not back his record breaking strike to come in that competition too? Man Utd have been drawn in the fourth round with Wigan, a club Rooney has scored 10 past in 15 previous tussles.

The price for Rooney to reach that 250 goals feat when facing the Latics is 7/1.

Premier League v Hull (Wednesday, February 1st)

It could prove to be a nightmare for the Humberside outfit, with Rooney at 9/1 to surpass Charlton on the first day of February.
