VIDEO Manchester United 3-0 Hull City Highlights, Goals: Rooney, Van Persie Overpower Hull

Two devastating long-range strikes from Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie and solid play from the back line helped Manchester United throttle Hull City 3-0 at Old Trafford Saturday. Defender Chris Smalling put United up in the 16th minute, but it was Rooney's fifth goal of the term that handed the Red Devils a 2-0 lead heading into the half and all but sewed up the victory.
