Manchester United claim Club World Cup

A 1-0 win has seen Manchester United claim the title of club world champions. The win came despite playing with 10 men for much of the second half.

Wayne Rooney scored the winning goal in the 73rd minute with a powerful shot into the right side of the goal. The goal came after Ronaldo drew the defence before laying the ball off to Rooney on his left.

Nemanja Vidic was sent off for elbowing Claudio Bieler in the face as the two were on the ground.

Despite the extra man Liga de Quito did not push forward enough to trouble Man Utd. The only chances for Liga de Quito came from long range shots by Alejandro Monso which were great shots that were well saved by Edwin van der Sar.

Manchester United will now return to England to mount a challenge to the top two teams in the English Premier League as they look to defend their EPL title.
