Wayne Rooney the record breaker: Should Man United icon get a statue?

Nobody has scored more goals than Wayne Rooney in Manchester United history -- so should he get a statue outside Old Trafford?

Rooney surpassed Sir Bobby Charlton's record when he made it 250 for United with a strike against Stoke last Saturday.

After joining in 2004, he has gone on to win the Premier League five times as well as the Champions League in a glittering 13-year career. With the Holy Trinity of George Best, Denis Law and Charlton outside Old Trafford, as well as statues for Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson, there have been calls for Rooney to get his own tribute.
