Wayne Rooney eyes Bobby Charlton record

Wayne Rooney says that he would be "absolutely delighted" to beat Bobby Charlton's 49-goal haul for England after moving to within three of the target on Tuesday.

England captain Wayne Rooney has said that he would be "absolutely delighted" if he could break Sir Bobby Charlton's all-time goalscoring record with the Three Lions.

The Manchester United striker scored twice in last night's 3-1 win away to Scotland to move within three goals of the legendary figure, who netted 49 times.

Rooney, who also bagged a brace in Saturday's Euro 2016 qualifying win over Slovenia, told reporters: "I'm just enjoying my football at the minute.

"I'm enjoying playing for England and I've had a good run of scoring goals. I hope it continues and if that means breaking the record I'll be absolutely delighted."

The 29-year-old will have to wait at least another five months before edging closer to Charlton - whose last international appearance came 44 years ago - as England do not play again until March.
