Manchester United former boss Alex Ferguson doubts Rooney's record can be broken


Coaching Legend Sir Alex Ferguson has called Rooney a "true great" after he broke a record set by Sir Bobby Charlton for the highest goals scored for Manchester United a player.

But he expressed his doubts about the record ever being broken.

According Dailymial UK, he said: "I don't think anyone can (anyone can overtake Wayne). I couldn't say never - never say never - but if you look at modern-day football, Manchester United are one of the few clubs who can keep players for over 10 years.

"It is more difficult that ever but we were very lucky if you look at my time, eve in Sir Matt Busby's time, we had players who stayed for more than 10 years. Many, many players did that and Wayne is one of them.
"But, in the modern day, you see it happening less that players stay for that length of time.
