Man U thrashes Celtic

Manchester United beat Scottish champions Celtic 3-0 in a Champions League match. Man U strikers Dimitar Berbatov, who scored a brace, and Wayne Rooney were on the scoresheet. It was Berbatov's 4th and 5th goals for United while Rooney scored his 9th goal in 7 matches for club and country. United could have gone ahead in the second minute when Nani crossed into the penalty area but an unmarked Anderson could not connect with the ball. In the second half, Rooney had a goal disallowed for offside although it looked onside in TV replays. Celtic, who had only one striker, had to start with a 4-5-1 formation. They now have only one point from their opening 3 matches, look set to be eliminated from the competition. United's winger Cristiano Ronaldo limped off with an injury late in the second half which could hurt their present form.
