Roon wants goals, goals, goals!

Wayne Rooney is determined to break the Manchester United goal scoring record to prove that there is life after Cristiano Ronaldo. Rooney has scored eight goals this season and his highest single season tally is 23. Roanldo in comparison scored a whopping 68 goals in his final two seasons at Old Trafford before his move to Real Madrid. "Having lost Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez, myself and the other forwards have to step up to the plate and score more goals," said Rooney on Friday. "Hopefully, with the way I've started the season, I'll end up with my best scoring total for United." Rooney however has scored just once in his last seven games for the Red Devils. "I've always scored in bursts throughout my career," added Rooney. "I want to become more consistent and start scoring on a more regular basis." United play Rooney’s former club Everton on Saturday.
