The Everton forward broke Sir Bobby Charlton’s record last year with his 250th Red Devils stake.

He ended his Old Trafford career on 253 strikes and is England’s top scorer, with 53 goals to his name in 119 appearances.

And after leaving the Red Devils he doesn’t see his tally being toppled because of the regular movement of players these days.

He said: “You never know, if they get someone like Messi or Ronaldo the record might get broken!

“But I think that in football now, players don’t really tend to stay at clubs for that long.

“The only way I can see it being broken is if someone stays for the same period of time that I did.

“It is fantastic to have left that mark behind. It is a great legacy to have left. I left United with great memories.

“It was a successful time for the club and it was great for me.

“I loved it there. I loved working with the players but it was the right time for me to move on and I feel I have certainly made the right decision in coming here.”
