Dimitar Berbatov and Wayne Rooney made sure Manchester United got back on track in the Barclays Premier League with a 2-0 victory over Blackburn.[LNB]Sir Alex Ferguson's side had enough chances to notch up a bigger scoreline but substitute Gabriel Obertan missed a couple of sitters.[LNB]Berbatov made the breakthrough in the 55th minute but it was not until two minutes from time Rooney made the points safe.[LNB]It means they keep the pressure on Chelsea and Arsenal at the top of the table in their aim to win a fourth successive title.[LNB]United dominated possession throughout and could have been ahead long before Berbatov turned Ryan Nelsen and fired a shot across Paul Robinson for his fourth goal of the season.[LNB]Rovers rarely threatened to get back on level terms and their fate was sealed when Rooney produced a neat left-footed finish from Anderson's left-wing cross.
