Manchester United 1-0 Birmingham City

Is Rooney capable of 20 plus Premier League goals? He is capable of that without question. You always need two or three of your strikers to get over the 20 goal mark. It has always been an advantage over the years for us and Wayne is capable of doing that."

- Sir Alex Ferguson


United start in this new season with a home win. Thanks to Rooney's 99th goal in his career in Manchester United shirt.

Playing in his preferred central role, Rooney tapped home from close range after his initial header had come back off the post after 34 minutes.

Wayne Rooney stepped out of Cristiano Ronaldo's enormous shadow to ensure Manchester United began the defence of their Barclays Premier League title with a victory over Birmingham City. Rooney is indeed not Ronaldo, there will be no trickery showed in his show. But Rooney is Rooney and Sir Alex get signed for something.

United had to sacrifice their two young gun in this match. John Evans and Nani had to be subtituted because of injury. Are they ready in the next match?
