When the red Devils went into Craven Cottage to play their Premier League match Saturday evening yesterday against Fulham, they were very confident and itching for tons of goals.
But the Fulham defence proved to be so formidable that the all hopes of the Devils dashed till as late as 79th minute when a lone goal from Rooney gave them an edge over the Cottagers.
Rooney surged forward after 78 minutes to meet a Jonny Evans long ball and send a cool finish into the far corner for his 10th goal in as many games.
In a frantic finale, Fulham were denied an equaliser when United striker Robin van Persie cleared a Philippe Senderos header off the line.
The 1-0 win over the Cottagers give the Red Devils a 10 points lead in the points table who now have amassed 65 points and continue to sit on top of the points table.
