Man United 3-1 Liverpool: Rooney fires United to a comeback win (Highlights)

Manchester United ended their US pre-season tour unbeaten with a 3-1 win over Premier League rivals Liverpool.

A Steven Gerrard penalty gave Liverpool the lead, but Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard replied for United.

More than 50,000 fans were at the Sun Life Stadium, home of the NFL’s Miami Dolphins, to see the International Champions Cup final.

“It’s nice for the fans in the USA and also at home that we beat Liverpool,” said new United boss Louis van Gaal.

Midfielder Gerrard slotted home from the spot in the 14th minute after defender Phil Jones had brought down tricky winger Raheem Sterling.

But striker Rooney, captaining United, scored the equaliser – and his third goal of the competition – after 55 minutes from a Javier Hernandez cross.

Mata gave his side the lead just two minutes later and fellow midfielder Lingard rounded off the victory near the end.

Rooney was named player of the tournament and Van Gaal singled out the England striker for special praise, describing him as a “winner”
