Any Reds frustrated at having to wait almost a month for the teenage tyro Wayne Rooney to appear for United for the first time were left fully sated, after a night for the ages at Old Trafford.
The 18-year-old well and truly put Turkish champions Fenerbahce to the sword, netting a hat-trick inside an hour as we prevailed 6-2 in the Champions League group-stage clash.
All three were brilliant goals and it was the first time in 99 years a United player had scored a treble on their debut, with Charles Sagar the only other man to achieve the feat, back in 1905.
