United outclass United in true Reds fashion

Wayne Rooney inspired Manchester United to a 3-1 win over Newcastle yesterday morning by scoring twice and setting up another for Robin van Persie, even if Papiss Cisse's late penalty took some of the gloss off a fine day at Old Trafford. The victory means the Reds are now unbeaten in eight Barclays Premier League matches and have recorded 11 straight wins on Boxing Day. Well done, boys, even if three players did get booked on the day.
