Wayne Rooney has set his sights on Sir Bobby Charlton's all-time England scoring record after bagging two goals in the 6-0 rout of Andorra.

The Manchester United striker took his season's tally to 10 for England with his double in the World Cup qualifier and is now level with Sir Geoff Hurst on 24 goals for his country.

The 23-year-old is now focused on overhauling the record 49 goals Charlton scored for England.

"If I could beat Bobby Charlton's record, it would be a great achievement and I do have that record in mind," said Rooney.

"I have been delighted with the way the scoring has gone for me in the last few games and this has been my best season with England.

"But we have played well as a team, which is the most important thing, and I have always said that I have never based my game on goals alone.

"I love playing and getting on the ball and getting involved in the game and I am doing that.

"Hopefully the goals will continue, but we are performing as a team and I believe we have one foot in the World Cup finals now."
