Berbatov leads Manchester United in romp over Celtic

Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov took his Champions League goal tally to four in two games as the holders thrashed thrashed Celtic 3-0 at Old Trafford to stay top of Group E on Tuesday.

United’s record signing followed the brace he scored at AaB Aalborg on his Champions League debut for the club with two more as Celtic’s miserable away record in the competition continued.

Wayne Rooney also extended his prolific scoring run with the third goal for United as Celtic slumped to their 18th defeat in their last 19 away games in the Champions League.

Berbatov scored on the half-hour and again after 51 minutes with England international Rooney completing the scoring 14 minutes from time to take his personal total to nine goals in his last seven games for club and country.
