Wayne Rooney has said that he hopes to break Sir Bobby Charlton's Manchester United scoring record, thus giving his biggest hint that he plans to sign a new deal at Old Trafford.

Last week it was reported that the England striker had agreed a contract extension worth an estimated £300,000 per week and, Rooney now suggests that he has aims he is seeking to achieve in the long-term with the Red Devils.

He told The Telegraph: "I've said all along I'm focusing on the football and will try to do as well as I can for the team and help the team be successful.

"If I can do that (break Charlton's record) I would be really proud, because it has stood for a long time."

Charlton's record stands at 249 goals for United, while Rooney has scored 208 times since his 2004 move from Everton.
