Wayne Rooney´s first-half double proved enough to give Manchester United a richly-deserved Barclays Premiership 2-0 triumph over Newcastle at Old Trafford.Rooney took advantage of a Peter Ramage blunder to put the hosts in front, then doubled United´s lead with a blistering finish not long afterwards.The only wonder was United did not add to their tally during a one-sided encounter but Rooney wasted the best of a succession of golden opportunities when he rounded Shay Given but chipped his shot against a post.
