With his back to goal, Rooney met a right-wing cross from Nani after 77 minutes with a perfectly-timed strike that flew into the top corner.

Nani had given Man United a 40th-minute lead when he controlled Ryan Giggs’ first-time pass before rolling a confident finish past City keeper Joe Hart.

City equalized after 64 minutes when Shaun Wright-Phillips crossed for fellow substitute Edin Dzeko, whose shot went in off David Silva’s back.
