Manchester United Ousts Wayne Rooney's Derby County in FA Cup

DERBY, England (AP) – Odion Ighalo scored twice as Manchester United ruined Wayne Rooney's reunion with his old club by beating Derby 3-0 Thursday to reach the FA Cup quarterfinals.

It was Rooney's first game against the club where he spent 13 years and became United's all-time top scorer, but the closest he came to a goal was with a free kick in stoppage time that goalkeeper Sergio Romero tipped over the bar.

Instead it was Ighalo who impressed, with the January signing netting in the 41st and 70th minute to take his tally to three goals in two starts for United.
