Marcus Rashford impressed as Manchester United clinched a Europa League group spot by beating Bournemouth in their rearranged Premier League match.
The teams met at a sparsely populated Old Trafford after Sunday’s game was called off following a bomb scare.
Ashley Young converted Rooney’s pass, before Chris Smalling diverted in Max Gradel’s shot as United finished fifth.
The victory took the hosts above Southampton, who go into the Europa League qualifying stage next season.
Plenty of attention was focused on United striker Rashford after the 18-year-old was a shock inclusion in England initial 26-man squad for Euro 2016.
The youngster was largely anonymous for the majority of the first half, managing just 12 touches as he was starved of service.
However, the game’s first moment of quality came when Rashford again failed to touch the ball – a marvellous dummy for Rooney’s opener.
The teenager showed mature awareness to leave Martial’s pass, following the France forward’s neat one-two with Juan Mata, for his skipper to fire in from close range, reports the BBC.
“The complete skill, awareness and vision of Rashford not to touch that ball is where the quality was,” said BBC Radio 5 live summariser Pat Nevin.
Rashford looked lively when the teams returned after the break, his sharp movement and exuberant skill providing United’s brightest moments.
Fittingly, he thumped in Antonio Valencia’s cushioned header after another Rooney pass – before he was substituted to a standing ovation after 79 minutes.
