What a way to break that record. Wayne Rooney smashed Bobby Charlton’s long-standing Manchester United goal scoring record with a sizzling freekick here at the Bet 365 stadium. But his 250th goal in United colours was all the more significant for the fact it came in added time, with United facing what appeared to be certain defeat.
Stoke were more than merely destructive. As United discovered after 18 minutes. Arnautovic held up play on the left side of the United defence and played Erik Pieters, who had galloped forward leaving Juan Mata trailing in his wash. As Pieters struck the ball towards goal, Mata managed to recover sufficiently to toe poke the ball off David de Gea’s hip into the goal.
