Giggs plays in Hernandez who does brilliantly to cut inside and get off the shot. Iraizoz gets down to make the save but the loose ball falls to the onrushing Rooney who plants it in the roof of the net.
No less than Athletic deserve. A superb ball in from the left by Susaeta, Llorente had been left and headed home – though De Gea was given the chance to save
Wonderful, wonderful chip through by Herrera, and De Marcos hit it first time with his left into the opposite corner.
From the resulting odd free-kick, two defenders went for the same ball and flinched it on for De Marcos. His good shot was well saved by De Gea, Rafael was asleep and Muniain ghosted it and fired into the roof of the net.
Handball by De Marcos just inside the box, it is definitely penalty. Rooney sends Iraizoz the wrong way and gives United hope.
MU defenders are still lack of experience and are lazy to clear the ball. They always depend on keeper, so this is bad habit that they have to change.
