Wayne Rooney will top the charts for England and Man United, says Chelsea's Gary Cahill

Wayne Rooney is closing in on all the records

WAYNE ROONEY will go on to smash the goal records for England and Manchester United, insists Gary Cahill.

Rooney levelled Sir Bobby Charlton's record of 49 England goals with his penalty against San Marino on Saturday and could break it tonight against Switzerland.

The Manchester United skipper is also closing on Charlton's record at Old Trafford, sitting 16 behind him and four behind Denis Law.

 

And Chelsea defender Cahill believes Rooney has enough time left to put himself out of reach.

"Wayne brings so much experience to the team. For someone so young to have achieved so much in terms of caps, in terms of goals, is absolutely incredible," Cahill said.

 

Wayne Rooney can become England and Man United's top goalscorer

"He has so many years ahead of him for club and country – he could go on and really smash these records, not just break them. 

"I know for him it’s a matter of getting there as soon as he possibly can.
"Everyone here is willing him on to break the record, it would be a great celebration to win the game and for him to have broken the record. It would be something special."
