Gary Neville believes that wonder kid Wayne Rooney can one day break Sir Bobby Charlton's record of scoring goals for Manchester United. And this comes after Rooney claimed to remain with the Red Devils for life.


There's no doubt that Rooney has got immense talent in him. And Neville praised Rooney's attitude and work ethics and hence sees him become one of Old Trafford's greatest players. Currently he has 102 goals in his kitty and needs many more goals to beat Sir Bobby's record of 249. But Wayne is just 23 and has got a lot of time with him and considering the form he has been exhibiting for his club and country, he might well score more than 300 goals.

His present team-mate Ryan Giggs eclipsed Sir Charlton's appearance record in the 2008 Champions League final against Barcelona. Rooney currently sits 18th on the all-time goal scorers list behind Ruud van Nistelrooy and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Even Dimitar Berbatov has showered lots of praise on Rooney for his skills and commitment to football. He said that Wayne is the first one to arrive on the training ground and the last one to leave. That shows how much he enjoys his football and his commitment towards learning. Also he is never in the newspapers for whatever reasons, simply because he does not want to become a celebrity. He is a footballer and likes to remain a football player all his life.

Great going Rooney. I hope to see you score more goals this season, especially since Tevez and Ronaldo have left. And I don't trust in the goal scoring abilities of Owen and Berbatov.
