Yet despite that feat, and who he had to surpass to achieve it, there has been doubt amongst some that Rooney is not quite as revered by United supporters as he should be. On the face of it, that seems faintly ridiculous; Rooney’s greatest hits for United is an astonishing collection, so catchily familiar that the fans can recognise them from just a few bars.
Inevitably Hearts began to have more of the ball. Luke Southwood saved superbly to keep out an Uche Ikpeazu header, a Steven Naismith header went just wide and an Ikpeazu shot was deflected over the bar by Scott McMann. The opening 16 minutes were painful viewing for Hearts manager Daniel Stendel but his team battled hard to earn a pointHearts stormed the Hamilton defences three minutes after the restart.
That is the very least we should expect from the process.

But just as they began to dare to believe, their hopes were crushed by two quick goals that left the outcome in little doubt. Celtic's threat had been restricted to plonking the ball on to the head of Kris Ajer at set-pieces before Odsonne Edouard went on the gallop to help fashion a breakthough.
Football match from the Czech Republic U19 league and we have Sigma Olomouc playing against Ceske Budejovice . This is a match where I feel we would have lots of goals so I will try with over 2.5 goals.
The 24-year-old's move from Lisbon last August came with two clauses allowing Albion to sign him permanently. One clause was that Pereira would become an Albion player long term if he started 20 Championship games and Slaven Bilic's men won promotion to the Premier League. The second was to start 30 league matches, with Pereira reaching that landmark on Albion's return to action after three and half months off because of the coronavirus pandemic.

I think that we will see a lot of goals in this match from Portuguese Cup and I will try this option, surely. So, home team is problematic this season and their defense is the biggest problem. In last round in Portugal league, they are lost even 7-0, so I believe that they will have new problems and here, that is clear. Benfica, on the other side, is team who is favorite and team who is lost in last derby match in league, against Porto at Dragao stadium, 3-2. They will be probably motivated to win this duel, so I will try.
In light of the last two matches, Frankfurt will have a lot of concerns with their defence as they seek recovery. They have one clean sheet in the last five matches, and have conceded 11 in the process, while scoring just five.

The Portuguese worked with the striker during their time at Inter Milan and Manchester United, and have famously maintained a close personal bond. We have the best striker in England," said Mourinho.

The photo of a somewhat bemused Cosgrove and a beaming Glen was posted on the Aberdeen website. Most of the reaction was the usual feelgood stuff, but one fan was having none of it. Cosgrove hadn't hit the back of the net in the league for two months at this point. Sam should be practising goal scoring instead!" he blasted. There may also have been a few expletive-laden references to the big striker being in need of a pair of specs of his own.
It was dreadful. Is he able to motivate this team? He seems to have lost the players. The desire seems to have ebbed away. I think maybe the manager might be in a position where he might even feel like he has to step to one side now. Serious questions need to be asked, this is as bad as I’ve seen it.
No, I don't think so [Haaland moving] he'll probably have at least another season in Dortmund," says Rekdal. If not, that would be two quick club changes, with one year in Salzburg before moving on. He is not that old, he has plenty of time to get to the bigger clubs, so I think he will be there at least another year.
The hosts are our confident selection for the three points this Saturday and we're also going for a 2-0 correct score. Granada have kept five clean sheets from eight matches at Los Carmenes this term, of which six have produced fewer than 2.5 goals in total. With Levante conceding an average of exactly two goals per game on their travels this season, there is plenty to suggest that 2-0 is the right call.
BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty, who was one of a select group allowed inside the stadium, said "It was an occasion that, in a sporting context, held an almost morbid fascination.

Sometimes a look up from a laptop is prompted by a roar from the crowd - this time it was as a result of a raised voice on the pitch or an increase in volume levels from the players.

It is also a chance for the island's players to get more competition - up until this season, when a local club side entered the English football pyramid, the island's players had few games to test themselves. These players want to play in tournaments that mean something and I think over the last couple of decades there's not been much for our top players in all honesty," added Scott. This season the Jersey Bulls has kicked off, and that's great for Jersey football, it's really brought the football community together and raised awareness of how talented our pool of players are, especially when they go across to the UK to play.
Meanwhile, already guaranteed to progress into the last 16 via a 2nd placed finish, there's little pressure on Wednesday's game for Real Madrid.
