Twitter Reacts as Wayne Rooney Scores to Give Manchester United Win vs. CSKA

Manchester United took on CSKA Moscow in the Champions League on Tuesday night, looking for three points, which would make their European adventures all the more comfortable.

Louis van Gaal's side had endured three successive 0-0 draws in the Premier League and Capital One Cup.

Fans weren't thrilled with the Dutchman's continued inclusion of out-of-form Wayne Rooney...

...but there was some at least some joy in a change of formation.

All eyes were on Rooney, though, as he looked to end his run of bad form.

He didn't get off to the best start:

But for that matter, neither did the home side.

As United pushed and pushed for the opener, they had David de Gea and Chris Smalling to thank for not falling behind.

They struggled to break down CSKA throughout the match, and Van Gaal looked to his bench as time ticked on...

Boos all around the ground for that appalling substitution

And just when the Old Trafford faithful had hit peak frustration, up popped Rooney, nodding in from Jesse Lingard's centre.

Relief for Rooney, who scored his club's first goal in over six hours of football.

It was a historic goal for a number of reasons...

And United did have a few good performances to be pleased with.

Mention to Lingard today. Thought he was great today and has been for the past few games he's played.

But, despite the goal, there are still some doubters when it comes to the form of their captain.
