Its another record for the Manchester United skipper, as this game, against Liverpool was his 564th League appearance, a club record overtaking the number of matches played by Bill Foulkes.

I am sure he is going to play a lot more games for the club". Charlton played his first League game for Manchester United on 6th October 1956, against Charlton Athletic. He scored twice in this, his debut match, in a 4 - 2 win. Since then he has played 16 seasons of First Division Football.
