90+3
There's the whistle, by far from perfect by United but Rooney was on fire in a 4-2 win that gets David Moyes his first Champions League group stage win. Thanks for joining us!
90+2
Leverkusen still haven't given up to be fair, but a promising move breaks down as Kruse hits a cross straight at Evra.
90+1
The ball drops to Can some way out but he hits it well off target.
90'
Three minutes added time signalled.
89'
HORROR MISS FROM VAN PERSIE! From two yards out with an open goal, it comes off his heel and drags wide! Deary me! Fine cross Valencia too!
88'
GOAL LEVERKUSEN! Toprak forces it home as De Gea flaps wildly at the corner, with the initial effort hitting the bar but the defender finding it at the second time of asking. 4-2!
87'
Corner to Leverkusen as Ferdinand is forced to deal with a dangerous ball.
86'
Van Persie almost threads Hernandez clean through but it's just beyond the Mexican! Close, but no cigar.
85'
Seems that United's little game with Rooney may have had the desired effect. If he can keep up this form, he could well have one of his best seasons.
84'
UNITED SUB: Hernandez replaces Rooney. Man of the match and a half.
82'
United have a corner on the right, it's half-cleared to Valencia but his volley is blocked by Bender for another corner.
80'
UNITED SUB: Cleverley on for Fellaini.
79'
GOAL UNITED! They counter from the corner, Van Persie setting Young away, now Rooney on the charge and the England man threads Valencia through with a wonderful pass and the Ecuadorean spanks it past Leno. 4-1.
78'
LEVERKUSEN DOUBLE SUB: Derdiyok and Kruse on for Kiessling and Sam.
77'
Reinartz with a fine ball to Bender, whose cross is excellent but Rio pumps it behind for a corner.
76'
Valencia on the charge now and his cross almost causes problems but Leverkusen manage to get it away.
75'
A mistake from Rooney sees United concede a free-kick but they deal with it well enough.
72'
A minute ago Young replaced Kagawa. Missed that in all the Rooney glory.
73'
United continuing to cut away at Leverkusen, who look spent.
71'
So a great night for Rooney - hits 200 for United and extends his CL tally to 28, four clear of Paul Scholes, the second-highest Englishman.
