Manchester United 4-0 Reading: Wayne Rooney levels Sir Bobby Charlton's club record goal tally as Reds easily topple the Royals

Wayne Rooney's recall to the first XI chimed a perfect note as the Manchester United skipper seized the opportunity to level Sir Bobby Charlton's club record goal mark and set his side en route to a 4-0 victory.

The veteran star has been waning of late but can still provide a magic moment and although he has certainly scored more spectacular goals of greater importance he will certainly remember this one.

It was the first of an easy win for United. Jaap Stam's return to Old Trafford was not a happy one as Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford also found the net.
