Internet Desk : Wayne Rooney’s brilliant show failed to inspire Manchester United to a win against New Castle United at St James Park . Rooney scored twice and was involved in the third in Manchester United’s 3-3 draw against Newcastle United at St James Park . The Reds have to settle for a draw despite leading 2-0 at the breather.

Rooney opened the scoring for United as he converted a spot kick as early as 10 minutes into the match . New Castle’s Chancel Mbemba was penalised for a handling the ball inside the box . Jesse Lingard stretched the lead for United after 38 minutes.

Newcastle pulled one back three minutes before the break through Georginio Wijnaldum. Aleksandar Mitrovic equalized from a spot kick in the 67th minute for the London based club , as he was brought down by Chris Smalling .

Rooney looked to have won for United with a stunning effort from distance 11 minutes from time, but Dummet’s shot right at the death ensured a share of the points.

Rooney was at his best and one in the eye for his doubters. He was composed scoring from spot, inventive setting up Lingard and irrepressible when thundering home what looked like the winner from distance.
