Wayne Rooney spoiled David Beckham\'s Old Trafford homecoming today by scoring another two goals against AC Milan as Manchester United cruised into the Champions League quarterfinals with 4-0 rout.
Having scored twice in United\'s 3-2 victory in the first leg, Rooney netted in each half to take his tally for the season to 30.
Park Ji-sung and Darren Fletcher added another two goals as a rampant United side secured a 7-2 aggregate win.
Apart from Ronaldinho\'s early header and substitute Beckham\'s volley, seven-time European champion Milan never posed any serious threat to United\'s quest for a third successive final.
Over in Spain, Real Madrid were eliminated in the first knockout round for the sixth year in a row after drawing 1-all against Lyon, sending the French club through 2-1 on aggregate.
