Three minutes: Rooney plays a one-two with Antonio Valencia before turning and firing a low effort wide to the right of the goal.

Six: The England forward escapes his marker and gets a shot away from outside the box, but it flies high over the bar.

Seven: Rooney is involved in a move that eventually sees Gary Neville shoot over.

13: Rooney makes it 1-0 on the night and 4-2 on aggregate, rising unmarked in the box to connect with Neville's pinpoint cross and guide it past Christian Abbiati into the corner of the net. It is his third headed goal of the tie.

46: Nani plays a delightful ball into the box with the outside of his boot which Rooney deftly touches past the onrushing Abbiati to net his 30th goal of the campaign and all but seal the tie.

66: With his side cruising at 3-0, Sir Alex Ferguson takes Rooney off and sends on Dimitar Berbatov.
