Passion deserts Everton as United chalk up 2-0 win

Manchester United produced a totally convincing first day of the season victory against an Everton side who failed to produce any of the fire and drive that was the hallmark of their displays last season.

Ruud van Nistelrooy scored a fine close range effort in the first half, and Wayne Rooney sunk his old pals when he scored a gift after a terrible mistake from Joseph Yobo just seconds after the break.
