Manchester United beat Sunderland 2-0 at Old Trafford on Saturday to get back on track in their pursuit of Champions League football next season.
Looking to bounce back after last week's disappointing loss to Swansea City, United struggled for much of the first half and patches of the second, but they were able to grind out the victory after John O'Shea hauled down Radamel Falcao in the box with just under 30 minutes remaining.
Wayne Rooney fired home the penalty—after Wes Brown, not O'Shea, had been given his marching orders—and scored again soon after to clinch victory, which will have been a relief to Louis van Gaal as the overall performance was less than spectacular.
