Rooney is the club’s all-time leading goalscorer with 253 goals, and Greenwood has the number as his target.
“When Marcus Rashford was in the first team, he left his little footprints behind for me to follow and a little bit of a pathway in the academy,” said Greenwood.
“With the goals now that Rooney scored when he was a teenager, maybe overtaking him in the Premier League can start something huge for me at this club.
“Hopefully I can carry on scoring for many, many years and obviously winning trophies here. That’s what I always wanted to do.”
