Manchester United fans react to truly outrageous goal from Wayne Rooney against Stoke

Well, he’s done it. Wayne Rooney is now Manchester United’s all-time top goalscorer with 250 strikes for the Red Devils. The club captain scored an absolutely wonderful free-kick against Stoke City, with less than a minute on the clock to grab his team a well-deserved point.

The Englishman was a second half substitute, and to be fair to him he acquitted himself quite well on the game as a whole. You always felt like Manchester United were going to find the back of the net some way some how during the game – and when Wazza was lining up that free-kick, you just knew it was written in the stars.

He just hit the ball with such precision, accuracy and sheer brilliance. To score a goal like that under so much pressure just sums up his time at this prestigious club. Watching him every week has been a real privilege, and he certainly has a few years left in him yet.

It’s a shame he didn’t really get to properly celebrate achieving the milestone because Manchester United were desperate to try and score again, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that it is a truly remarkable record to have.

As you’d imagine, the Manchester United faithful were absolutely buzzing for the ex-Everton man all over social media, so we’ve compiled some of the best posts below.
