Wayne Rooney scored his 250th Manchester United goal to break Sir Bobby Charlton's club record and earn a 1-1 draw against Stoke.

The stoppage time equaliser, a free-kick, was the Red Devils captain's first goal in 15 Premier League games and cancelled out Juan Mata's own goal.

It salvaged some joy from an otherwise frustrating afternoon for United, breaking the Potters' resistance in the 94th minute. Rooney also became the highest away goalscorer in Premier League history with 88.

Whipped in with pace from the left side of the penalty area, Lee Grant was helpless to prevent the ball nestling into the top right corner.

Rooney drew level with Sir Bobby's record against Reading in the 4-0 FA Cup victory on January 7, but failed to score against Hull and Liverpool.

It was only Rooney's fifth goal in all competitions this season under Mourinho and leaves United three points off fourth place having played a game more than Arsenal.
