ROONEY DOUBLE…
MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) – Wayne Rooney scored twice again as Manchester United cruised into the quarter-finals of the Champions League after a 4-0 win over a feeble AC Milan sent them through 7-2 on aggregate yesterday. Rooney, who scored twice in the 3-2 San Siro win, was on target again with a thumping header from a Gary Neville cross after 13 minutes – the England striker’s eighth header in his last nine goals.

Milan went close with an early Ronaldinho header but seemed to lose heart after the goal and United’s defence had a more comfortable ride than they had any right to expect in the knockout round of Europe’s Premier competition against the seven-time winners.

Rooney tucked in his second two minutes into the second half, Park Ji-sung made it 3-0 after an hour and Darren Fletcher completed the astonishing rout with an 88th-minute header.
