ManchesterUnited eased past Roma to take a 2-0 lead in the first leg of their champions league tie at the Stadio Olimpico.Ronaldo and Rooney both scored and Ronaldo now becomes the Top scorer in this year's champions league.
After losing Nemanja Vidic to injury after half-an-hour, United took the lead six minutes before half-time when Ronaldo rose powerfully to meet Paul Scholes' cross for his 36th goal of the season.
Roma responded positively after the break with Christian Panucci firing over when unmarked and Mirko Vucinic forcing a fine reaction save from Edwin van der Sar.
Wayne Rooney then doubled their lead in the 66th minute. The 'Red Devils' will take a two-goal cushion into the second leg at Old Trafford, where Roma were beaten 7-1 in the same stage of last year's competition.
