Wayne Rooney turned in an all-action display for Manchester United at home to Chelsea on Monday, but the game ended 0-0.

The England striker started at Old Trafford against the club who have twice tried to sign him this summer, and was at the heart of almost all of United's best moves.

However, resolute defending from both teams prevented any real clear-cut chances, and the match was more notable for a series of penalty appeals - none of which inspired referee Martin Atkinson to point to the spot.

Best of the match

  • Man of the Match: United skipper Nemanja Vidic made 13 effective clearances - two more than his Chelsea counterpart John Terry - and was the most accurate passer of the ball on the pitch.
  • Moment of the Match: On a night of several penalty shouts, the biggest came when Cleverley powered a shot into Lampard's arm, but referee Martin Atkinson wasn't convinced.
  • Miss of the Match: Danny Welbeck was presented with a sight of goal inside the area but he couldn't balance himself well enough to get his shot on target.
  • Talking Point: Despite his unsettled summer, Wayne Rooney was given a warm reception by United fans and put in a great shift. Is the transfer saga definitely over?
