United keep in touch, but it's unlucky 13 for Rooney

THEY MAY ONLY have grabbed half as many as Chelsea managed against West Brom, but Manchester United have kicked off their Premier League campaign with a slick 3-0 home win over Newcastle United. Dimitar Berbatov, Darren Fletcher and Ryan Giggs – in his 21st top-flight season – were the scorers – and it should have been more with Wayne Rooney unable to score for his 13th consecutive came.
