Five Talking Points from Manchester United's comfortable 2-0 win at West Ham

Two goals from Wayne Rooney and a solid defensive effort meant that United continued on from their mid-week victory with yet another win, albeit a lot more comfortable one. Here are the five talking points.

#1 Rooney racing through the record books

With the injury to Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney led the attack against the Hammers and showed his manager that the Dutchman might not be missed after all. Rooney looked sharp from the first minute and was challenging for every ball and showed plenty of commitment. With his two goals, he took third place on United’s all-time goal scoring charts with 212 goals. Both goals showed two different facets of his game. His first was a thing of beauty as brought back memories of Beckham’s goal at Selhurst Park. From a clearance from Ashley Young, Rooney shrugged off his man and unleashed a ferocious volley from just inside the Hammers’ half. His second was a poacher’s finish and took him past Jack Rowley into third and gave United fans an idea of what the next few years will be like.
