4) Denis Law’s league goals record
In the Manchester United history books, Rooney can also move in front of the legendary Denis Law in terms of league goals for the Red Devils. Law scored 171 league goals for the club in his tremendous Old Trafford career, meaning Rooney can overtake him if he scoresd 13 more in the English top flight this term. This is certainly an achieveable feat, though the 28-year-old can be somewhat unpredictable in front of goal, scoring only 12 league goals back in 2012/13, and only 11 as recently as 2010/11.
