| Wayne Rooney scored a sensational four goals to send Manchester
United top of the Premier League at a mutinous Old Trafford.
After opening the scoring just seven minutes into a one-sided contest
against Hull, Rooney had to wait until a similar point before the
end to get his second.
A third, and his fourth United hat-trick, followed shortly afterwards
from a cross by the excellent Nani before Rooney completed his own
personal massacre of Phil Brown's men with a solo effort in stoppage
time.
It certainly confirmed Rooney's well-being ahead of that powderkeg
Carling Cup decider with Manchester City next Wednesday and fuels
Sir Alex Ferguson's belief his side are on the verge of something
big. Victory and status are just part of the story at Old Trafford
just now though.
