Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was right about Wayne Rooney. There is still fight in the old dog. But Manchester United have a bit of bite themselves at the moment and it was enough to see them through to the FA Cup quarter-finals at Pride Park on Thursday night.
Two goals from Odion Ighalo – no spring chicken himself at the age of 30 – and a rare effort from Luke Shaw secured a trip to Norwich City for Solskjaer’s side who are now unbeaten in their last nine games, winning six of them and keeping seven clean sheets.
Rooney did his best to stop his old club on a night when he was lauded by both sets of supporters. In the dying seconds, with the outcome decided, Derby’s player-coach stood over a free kick 25 yards from goal.
