Wayne Rooney led Manchester United's march to within a point of the Champions League knock-out phase with their 3-0 win over FC Copenhagen - even if there is still no end to his goalscoring drought.

Skipper for the night after pre-match drama in the home dressing room claimed Ryan Giggs and Rio Ferdinand, Rooney produced another supremely industrious performance which contained everything but the long-awaited shot which ends up in the net.

Instead, Paul Scholes, John O'Shea and Kieran Richardson took the goalscoring accolades in a win which leaves United needing a single draw to be mathematically certain of reaching the last 16, although in reality, the job is done with three games to spare.
