Man United out to protect lead at home

Rooney the key as Fergies' boys try to stay on top in the Premiership

LONDON - Boosted by an impressive 4-0 Champions League triumph over AC Milan, Manchester United now have to concentrate on staying on top of the Premier League.

After Wayne Rooney took his goals tally for the season to 30 with two more against the Italian club, United have a home game against a Fulham side which has won only one league game in 14 away from home and should be confident of staying two points ahead of Chelsea and Arsenal in the title race.
