Wayne Rooney captained United for their Champions league match last night against Braga at Old Trafford. Manchester United won the match with 3 goals to 2 by Braga. Chicharito scored a brace while Evans scored the other. Rooney got his early birthday present 2 days ago when he scored a brace against Stoke City and he captaining last night was the cherry on the cake. Rooney scored his first goals for United this season after his terrible thigh injury in their 2nd match against Fulham.
Chicharito started the match last night and looked good on the ball with two goals to his name. After the match Sir Alex said "Chicharito has such great enthusiasm for the game and he trains magnificently." Sir Alex was very impressed by Hernandez that he also said "He’s got me thinking, I must say that. He & van Persie and Rooney & Welbeck. I don’t know what to do with them to be honest"
The match also saw injuries to Kagawa who twisted his ankle and to Lindegaard who will be out for a week with a hand injury. Ryan Giggs marked yet another record for 18 successive Champions League campaigns. At the age of 37 years 289 days Ryan Giggs is the oldest player to score in the Champions league when he scored vs Benfica on 14th Nov 2011.
Ferguson said "It has been the story of our season leaking goals & fighting back but some of the football was terrific" strikers to the rescue again.
