3 mins: Davies intercepted with a vital headed clearance as Ronaldo was waiting to pounce on Giggs' cross.

7 mins: Rooney's shot deflected past Jaaskelainen and was trickling towards goal, but Stelios was on hand to clear.

8 mins: What N'Gotty was thinking is anybody's guess when he chested Richardson's cross into his own net with the nearest United player four yards behind him.

18 mins: Rooney powered his way past Faye and into the box. Thankfully, the ball bobbled as he swung his right boot and it flew over.

33 mins: Speed came in unmarked at the far post to head his first senior goal at Old Trafford after Faye had flicked on Okocha's throw.

34 mins: Saha would have given United an instant reply but for a super piece of goalkeeping by Jaaskelainen who dashed out and spread himself to block the striker's hard low shot.

39 mins: Ronaldo smashed a volley against Jaaskelainen's left hand post.

44 mins: Ben Haim either did not see Saha or took a risk with a back header. The Frenchman was on to it like a flash, rounded Jaaskelainen and poked home. That was the last we saw of Ben Haim.

63 mins: Nolan's volley hit Fletcher on the arm, bringing a huge appeal for a penalty. The ref probably got it right, the arm was across his stomach and it looked like ball to hand.

65 mins: Ronaldo hit the post a second time, beating Jaaskelainen with a left footed drive from 20 yards after a darting run.

68 mins: The killer goal, which had been coming, finally arrived when Rooney's brilliance took him through the Wanderers defence and a clever flick teed up Ronaldo for a simple finish.

88 mins: Okocha shows the old magic, beating two United defenders time and again before delivering his cross which was cleared.

90 mins: Ronaldo ran from the halfway line, went past N'Gotty with a couple of stepovers and beat Jaaskelainen on his left hand post from the edge of the box.
