Wayne Rooney breaks Manchester United’s European goalscoring record

The striker was however less than impressed with a reporter who chose to ask questions about his infamous drinking incident after the win. After this match, Manchester United scored 9 points and standing in the second position of UEFA Europa League Standings.

“It will be even better if he can help the club to win the one trophy they don’t have in their history which is the Europa League”.

Jose Mourinho is lining up one of his Chelsea favourites as he bids to right the Manchester United ship in January. If we qualify in Ukraine there will be more matches to come and more goals for Rooney to score. Watch the Manchester United vs Feyenoord Highlights & Goals Video here.

“First of all, as a person, he’s fantastic”, he said of Rooney, who became United’s leading goalscorer in European competition with his Feyenoord strike.

While United made a strong start, there was a scare midway through the first half when Sergio Romero had to produce a smart double save to thwart Rick Karsdorp and visiting captain Dirk Kuyt.

His latest effort, a delicious dink over Brad Jones, came just five days after he vowed he was “not finished yet” as an England worldwide following the publication of images of the 31-year-old, in Three Lions’ gear, appearing worse for wear during the global break.

The team has generally struggled to create goals with veteran Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic the main threat in their forwardline.

Mata almost made it two for the hosts shortly after the restart, attempting to chip the ball from the edge of the area over Jones, who was able to get back and tip over the bar.

Former Liverpool players, goalkeeper Brad Jones and attacker Dirk Kuyt are among the starters for Feyenoord today.

Lingard, a late replacement for Mata, was twice thwarted by Jones, but prevailed at the third attempt with a curling left-foot shot.

“It was a good win, we are pleased to get four goals”, he said. “I am happy he broke the record”.

Ajax stayed ahead in Group G with a 2-0 win over last-placed Panathinaikos, while Athletic Bilbao guaranteed its place in the next round by beating Sassuolo 3-2 in Group F.

“We lost 10 points in one month”.
