Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has paid tribute to Wayne Rooney after the England striker became the club's all-time leading European scorer in Thursday's 4-0 win over Feyenoord.
Rooney opened the scoring in the Europa League victory, with the 31-year-old's strike taking him onto 39 European goals for the Red Devils, moving past Ruud van Nistelrooy to secure the record.
Mourinho has branded the record "an amazing achievement" and challenged his side to lift the Europa League this season after moving one step closer to the knockout stage of the competition.
"It's an amazing achievement, obviously. His performance was like the team performance. We showed direction even at 1-0 up, we want to score more goals and get into a position where we are ahead of them in a situation where there are two or three teams on the same points," Mourinho told reporters.
"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. I know it's not the biggest competition, but let's push. Let's qualify, I know there are a lot of knockout games, but let's try."
Man United need a point from their final group match against Zorya Luhansk in order to be sure of a spot in the last-16 stage of the competition.
