WAYNE ROONEY: UTD LEGEND?

• WAYNE ROONEY: UTD LEGEND?

  So his brace last night took him to 200 goals in a United shirt, and 4th on their all-time top goal-scorers list behind Jack Rowley, Denis Law and Sir Bobby Charlton. Providing he hangs around long enough (and it's probably still a pretty big if), chances are he'll break Charlton's record of 249 somewhere around the end of next season or the start of the one after.
  
  But with all the transfer requests (are we on 2 or 3 now?) and general unpleasantness, can you see him being thought of as one of the greats once he's hung up his boots? Even leaving his conduct to one side, is he on the same level as Charlton, Law and more recent heroes such as Giggs and Cantona?
  
  Discuss.

  But what happens if ends up being your all-time top goalscorer?
  
  Will people look back in 50-100 years and be all like 'doesn't count, fookin scouser'?
  
  That'd be awkward...

  in terms of stats he is a legend, but he wouldnt make into their all time 11 or squad. if you ask people to name a utd legend he would be a long way down on the list.

  I think he will be a utd legend if he breaks that record. Utd have been blessed over the year with big impact players but not 30 goals a seaso men that have stuck around - van nisterooy, ronaldo and yorke spent a short time there. He also changes the dynamic of a game by himself when he is upfor it. So yeahhe has the makings of a legend.

  i don't think he's good enough to be ranked alongside the great players man utd have had at their club. he's not even the best player in their squad now.

  Giggs, Neville, Scholes are loved for staying ages and being super loyal.
  
  Ronaldo, Cantona, van Nistelrooy are loved for being amazing over a few short years.
  
  Rooney's probably somewhere in between.

  i'm not sure about the loyal part, it was only a few seasons ago he wanted to leave and only stayed when he got big pay rise and we aren't sure exactly what happened this summer.
