Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was pleased with Wayne Rooney's penalty double last night.

Rooney struck both goals in victory at Otelul Galati.

Rooney had an embarrassing penalty slip against Arsenal earlier this season but Ferguson, asked if he had considered relieving the forward of spot-kick duties, scoffed: "Why should a miss make a difference? He slipped.

"We played Rooney further upfield in the second half and that made the difference. I wasn't so much concerned at half-time but we knew what we needed to say to the players because our possession wasn't creating any penetration."
