Wayne Rooney starred for Manchester United as they kept their Europa League campaign alive with a 4-0 win over Feyenoord on Thursday night.
Defeat at Old Trafford would have seen United knocked out of the competition at the group stage, but Rooney struck in the 36th minute to put them in front and become United’s leading goalscorer in Europe with 39 – one ahead of Ruud van Nistelrooy.
The United captain then superbly set up Juan Mata for their second after the break, before former Liverpool goalkeeper Brad Jones put through his own net and substitute Jesse Lingard netted in stoppage time to seal the points for Jose Mourinho’s side.
The result leaves United second in Group A on nine points, and knowing a draw in their final game at Zorya in two weeks will be enough to see them through to the last 32.
