Wayne Rooney shows he's still got it and why he remains Manchester United’s all-time record goalscorer.

The ex-Premier League star hit a stunning free kick in the Manchester United vs Celtic legends game at Old Trafford today.

The curling effort stunned Boruc in goal, who just stood helpless in the goals as the effort whizzed passed him straight into the top left corner.

The now Plymouth manager's 25 yard strike has propelled the Red Devils into the lead in the star-studded exhibition game.

During his decorated career Rooney, 38, scored a record 253 goals for United across 559 games.

Ahead of the game today Rooney did admit that he would have like to don the jersey of the Scottish club during his playing time.

He admitted to Celtic's club media: 'Celtic has always been a team I have followed and wanted to win.

'Unfortunately, I did not get the opportunity to play for Celtic. I would have liked too.

'But I did not work out and I did not get that chance.'
