At the moment, Wayne Rooney, who is currently playing for Derby County, is a true legend of Manchester United and the England national team, as well as the most prolific scorer of all time in these teams.
However, the 34-year-old footballer revealed that he did not have the same goal-scoring instinct as other players in his position. W. Rooney also has no doubts that Harry Kane will soon take the title of the all-time top scorer in the England national team from him.
"This may surprise you, but I really did not have the same goal-scoring instinct as other forwards. I was not like Gary Lineker or Ruud van Nistelrooy.
I am the all-time top scorer for Manchester United and the England national team and I am very proud of it, but I have to admit that I was not the best forward.
How did I manage to improve records? I just spent a lot of time both in the England national team and at Manchester United. Now it even seems like I should have scored even more goals.
I don't think it will take Harry Kane long to take the title of the top scorer in the England national team from me. When that happens, I will be very proud. If I were in charge of the team selection, I would start with Kane," Rooney shared his thoughts on "The Times" portal.
In the ranks of Manchester United, W. Rooney scored 253 goals in 559 matches, and in the England national team, he managed to play in 120 matches, scoring 53 times.
