Rooney starts to repay bumper pay rise

Wayne Rooney added the gloss to his new contract with a well-taken goal in Manchester United's hard-fought Premier League victory at Crystal Palace.

The England forward signed a fresh £300,000-a-week deal on Friday and, after being on the periphery for much of the game, thrashed in United's second as they recorded a 2-0 win over the Eagles to move sixth in the table.
