United Win 1-0 against Roma

Wayne Rooney scored his first goal of the season to earn Manchester United a 1-0 victory over Roma the Champions League at Old Trafford.

The result leaves United three points clear at the top of Group F, having won their opening two matches.

England striker Rooney struck with 20 minutes left on the clock when he latched on to a neat pass from Nani and hit a low first-time shot into the net from 15 yards.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson said after the match that he was pleased with his team's performance, even though the game was a much tighter affair than last April's quarter-final clash in which United hammered Roma 7-1.
