United see off battling Rovers

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.Sir Alex Ferguson's side had enough chances to notch up a bigger scoreline but substitute Gabriel Obertan missed a couple of sitters.Berbatov made the breakthrough in the 55th minute but it was not until two minutes from time Rooney made the points safe.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.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.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.
