Becks bows to reign of King Wayne

DAVID BECKHAM is not a manused to being overshadowed but his Old Trafford homecoming was hijacked by Wayne Rooney last night as the striker produced a mesmerising performance to help Manchester United beat AC Milan and reach the Champions League quarter-finals.

Rooney’s two goals in a 4-0 victory, both superbly taken, took his tally for the season to 30 and earned United a 7-2 aggregate victory in a tie that they dominated from start to finish, with Ji-Sung Park and Darren Fletcher adding gloss to the scoreline.

The striker’s performance was so impressive, polished and full of quality that it was almost impossible to take your eyes off his every move, leaving Beckham on the bench a bystander.
