Rooney becomes a united centurion

Manchester United's Wayne Rooney upon scoring his 1st goal against Wigan Athletic on Saturday 22nd August reached a landmark of 100 goals for Manchester United.

The White Pele who now sits 18th Manchester United top scorers of all time joined an exclusive club of special players cementing himself at such a young age in Manchester United History.

Rooney said "“Obviously I’m pleased to have scored 100 goals for Man United,” “It’s a great achievement, and I’m proud of it, but there is still more goals in me and more games to play so it’s not something I have been concentrating on.”

The 23-year-old netted a double to take his tally to 101 in 242 appearances for the Red Devils, with Ferguson full of praise for England striker Rooney.

He said:"It is a great achievement and he is only a young lad. "Some players have been at the club for many years and not reached that total yet. It will do him a world of good. "Strikers have to score - that is their mantra. If they are not scoring they think the world is at an end. "When they are scoring they think they will never finish scoring, but that is what they are."
