Manchester United successfully bounced back in the league this Saturday, securing a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace. This win served as a redemption for David Moyes’ squad, who suffered defeat at the hands of Liverpool last week. One of the notable highlights of this match was the triumphant return of Wayne Rooney.
The English international, who had been sidelined due to a head injury for the past ten days, made a starting appearance in the attacking lineup against Crystal Palace. However, it was his compatriot Robin Van Persie who found the net first, scoring in the 45th minute from the penalty spot following a foul by Dikgacoi.
As reported by Africa Top Sports, Manchester United’s resurgence was evident in the 2-0 victory, re-energizing the team after the setback against Liverpool. Wayne Rooney, distinguishable by a black headband, made a significant impact in the second half by scoring a second goal from a free kick. This match also marked the debut of Marouane Fellaini.
Despite facing summer speculation and transfer rumors, including a potential move to Chelsea that did not materialize, Wayne Rooney appears to have launched his season on a positive note with this performance.
