How many did Rooney have at this age does anyone know? If he’s a one club man then obviously he has a chance.
 
If he stays here for another 10-12 years then yeah I think he will break it. It would be tough because you have stay clear of injuries and will have to score nearly 20 goals a season year after year but I think he has it in his locker.

I don’t think he will get there.

Rooney was an unbelievable player in some great Utd teams that were full of goals he also had a few 30+ seasons the fact Rashford takes pens means he will get high up the list if he stays injury free during his career.

Assuming we'll be at a level where he'll want to stay.
 
Was convinced Mason Greenwood would pass it with ease in his late 20's, not so sure now, and Marcus might get close if his work as Prime Minister and the Archbishop of Canterbury doesn't get in the way, and if Rash does beat Rooney's record, his Son might well just get the record back for clan Rooney.
 
Roughly he needs to average 20 a season for 8 seasons to make it.

I just don’t see him doing it.

I think he’ll break the record. He has the potential to 40 goal seasons over the next 3-5 seasons.
 
150 goals to make up as a 25 year old takes some doing, but I'd love to see him do it. Not only would that mean that United benefit from a 25-30 goal scorer for the next 6+ seasons, but Rashford is such a likeable lad, and he's one of our own, and more importantly, it would mean that he's in a good place and not in that personal hell he was fighting through last season.
 
Great to see the lad back to somewhere near his best again but hope the club hold back until a few months into next season atleast before offering him a new bumper contract.
 
And I still think he's got one more positional change left in him, it's just up to EtH to tamper a bit with his system to see if it works or not.

I don't think he will break the record. I still have some concern with his temperament.
I do hope he can prove me wrong but he will probably have to pump in another 100 before I would even give it consideration
