3) Andrew Cole’s Premier League goals record
Depending on Rooney’s goalscoring form this season, he could realistically be in with a chance of overtaking Andrew Cole in the Premier League goalscoring charts as well. Former United star Cole, whose goals also came in spells for the likes of Newcastle United, Blackburn Rovers and Manchester City, is currently on 188 strikes, meaning Rooney would need at least fifteen more goals this season to move in front of him, which would mean only Newcastle legend Alan Shearer would be above him in the list, with a sensational 260 goals that will take some superhuman feat to break.
