Wayne Rooney is a goalscorer and we need him back, Law told Sky Sports. When Wayne joined Manchester United - and I said it at the time - if he stays away from injury he will break all records.He is important to the club - as are all of the players regardless of their position - but because he is a striker he is reliant on other people like the midfielders and the wingers giving him the ball. Wayne Rooney is five goals shy of Sir Bobby Charltons record of 249 Manchester United goals Looking back on my own career I was really lucky to be playing alongside two of the greatest players in the world in Bobby Charlton and George Best. That made it easier for me.Law had a glorious 11-season spell at Old Trafford and scored 237 goals, winning four major trophies before rejoining Manchester City in 1973.
