2009–10 Manchester United F.C. season goalscoring service as Wayne Rooney scored two headers and Michael Owen's first league goal since the Manchester derby saw United cruise to a 3–0 win. United then went to Wolverhampton Wanderers where a tight, poor game was decided by a Paul Scholes goal around ten minutes from time. United then played at home to Fulham where they exacted direct revenge for the 3–0 defeat at Craven Cottage earlier in the season after two goals from Wayne Rooney, from crosses by Nani and Berbatov and a late third from Dimitar Berbatov himself gave United a win as comfortable as the scoreline
Wayne Rooney title for United, and giving Rooney his fourth Premier League title winner's medal. Rooney started the season with a goal in the first league game at The Hawthorns against West Bromwich Albion. Rooney played a one-two with Ashley Young before a sharp turn and finish from outside the box which found the bottom corner of the goal. He also scored in the second game of the season, at home to Tottenham Hotspur, when he headed in a Ryan Giggs cross. In late August, Rooney scored his 150th goal for United, the first of a hat-trick, helping to beat Arsenal 8–2.
