Wayne Rooney presented strange midfield performance as Manchester United recorded a hard earned triumph over Romanian side Otelul Galati on Wednesday night at Old Trafford. This was the first game at Old Trafford since the 6-1 overthrow at the hands of Manchester City.
Antonio Valencia put Manchister united in front just after eight minutes of game, while Rooney’s deflected effort just minutes before stoppage time sealed the maximum points for English Powerhouse. Currently Sir Alex Ferguson’s side exist at the second place in Group C and can top the Group by beating Benfica.
“If we beat Benfica we’ll win the group, simple as that,” Ferguson said. “It’s a big incentive for us, especially considering the history between the two clubs. It should be a good night.”
