Manchester United’s dismal form in front of goal was brought to a timely end as Wayne Rooney’s second-half header sealed a narrow 1-0 victory over CSKA Moscow at Old Trafford.
Six hours and 44 minutes of football had elapsed since United last found the back of the net, coincidentally in the reverse fixture against CSKA in Moscow, before Rooney headed Jesse Lingard’s cross home on 79 minutes.
Despite United dominating large spells, the game hinged on an action-packed minute prior to Rooney’s goal, with David de Gea and Chris Smalling both denying Seydou Doumbia with last-gasp blocks before the hosts forced the breakthrough.
And the victory proved to be vital in terms of the Reds’ Champions League hopes, moving them into top spot of Group B with ties against PSV and Wolfsburg remaining.
