Wayne Rooney 'right up there with Charlton, Law and Best' - Carrick

Michael Carrick has hailed Wayne Rooney's "sensational achievement" in becoming Manchester United's all-time highest goal scorer and has no doubt he can be held in the same high esteem as Sir Bobby Charlton, Denis Law and George Best.

Rooney moved clear of Charlton at the top of the club's scoring list when he notched his 250th goal for the club with a superb stoppage-time free kick in Saturday's 1-1 Premier League draw at Stoke City.

That has prompted plenty of praise for the 31-year-old, who also surpassed Charlton as England's record goal scorer in 2015.
