Rooney continued his resurgence with a gorgeous curling goal in the early stages of Manchester United's fourth-round FA Cup match vs. Derby County. Rooney took a touch inside from the corner of the box and unleashed a right-footed shot that bent inside the far post and evaded diving goalkeeper Scott Carson in the 16th minute.
