Premier League: Manchester United v West Ham United half time report
Manchester United 1 West Ham United 0
Wayne Rooney’s penalty has given Manchester United the lead at the break at Old Trafford.
Forward Rooney scored his first goal since March – ending the longest barren spell of his career – when he sent goalkeeper Robert Green the wrong way from the spot, after the hosts were awarded a penalty for Jonathan Spector’s clumsy challenge on Ryan Giggs.
Green had earlier tipped a Nani effort onto the crossbar, while both the Portuguese and Dimitar Berbatov wasted good openings when they looked certain to score.
As expected, West Ham have offered very little, although Kieron Dyer did shoot into the side netting after a good run.
