Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has set his sights on breaking the Red Devils' all-time goalscoring record of 249, set by Sir Bobby Charlton.
While the former Everton frontman is eager to reach the target, the 26-year-old understands that obstacles may get in the way.
"It would be fantastic if ever I could reach such a record and become the all-time top scorer for Manchester United," The Sun quotes Rooney as saying. "I would be absolutely thrilled to do it. I look at it and I certainly feel I'm capable of doing it over the next five or six years.
"If I do, then it would be an incredible achievement for me personally. But while it is an ambition of mine I know that in this game you can't take anything for granted - you can never be sure of anything in football.
"Injuries can happen, all sorts of things can happen but yes, if I stay fit and in form then I have a real chance."
The England international has a goal tally of 158 from 337 appearances for the Premier League champions.
