But the one-all charity event couldn&#8217;t close until a penalty shootout separated both sides to make Celtic the winner.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Match Line-up<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Manchester United<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Goalkeepers: Anders Lindegaard, Kevin Pilkington, Raimond van der Gouw<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Defenders: Antonio Valencia, Danny Pugh, Danny Simpson, Mikael Silvestre, Phil Bardsley, Ronny Johnsen, Denis Irwin<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Midfielders: Chris Eagles, Darren Fletcher, Eric Djemba-Djemba, Luke Chadwick, Karel Poborsky, Michael Carrick, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forwards: Danny Webber, Dimitar, Berbatov, Fraizer Campbell, Wayne Rooney<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Celtic<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Goalkeepers: Artur Boruc, \u0141ukasz Za\u0142uska<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Defenders: Charlie Mulgrew, Darren O\u2019Dea, Efe Ambrose, Kelvin Wilson, Mikael Lustig, Stephen McManus<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Midfielders: Barry Robson, Joe Ledley, Jonny Hayes, Simon Donnelly, Stiliyan Petrov<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forwards: Gary Hooper, Georgios Samaras, Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Major Highlights<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wayne Rooney scored the game\u2019s first goal (and Man United&#8217;s only goal) with a stellar free-kick in the 42nd minute. Rooney sent home a curling delight that beat Artur Boruc&#8217;s best heroics in the net. But his goal would remain the only difference in the game until just after the hour mark.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Celtic&#8217;s Gary Hooper tapped home from close range just over the 60th minute, reacting swiftly to Stiliyan Petrov&#8217;s long-ranger. The game finished level after 90 minutes and needed a penalty shootout to break the tie. Celtic&#8217;s Darren O&#8217;Dea slotted home the winner to crown Paul Lambert&#8217;s Legends the winners.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>First Half Highlights<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a reminiscent forward-three of Dimitar Berbatov, Antonio Valencia, and Wayne Rooney excited the home fans who couldn&#8217;t hold back their excitement as Rooney&#8217;s name was announced just before kick-off. 15 minutes into the match, Phil Bardsley got hauled down outside the box. Rooney stepped in to take the free-kick but failed to move past the Celtic wall.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Michael Carrick&#8217;s dazzling run shortly afterward showed United&#8217;s potential before he was stopped. But the home side kept advancing forcefully against Boruc&#8217;s hoops net. Thanks to a slick link-up between Berbatov, Fletcher, and Rooney, United got another chance at goal, only for Rooney&#8217;s goal-bound effort to deflect wide for a corner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The resulting set-piece didn\u2019t amount to much, like much of the remaining first-half minutes, until Joe Ledley hauled down Fletcher just outside the box. Rooney stepped up to the task and curled home an absolute peach of a free-kick into the top corner to hand United the lead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Second Half and Penalties<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second half began with United\u2019s Nicky Butt replacing Carrick. Shortly into the second half,\u00a0 Berbatov attempted to finish a through ball with a deft chip that narrowly missed the crossbar. A wry smile swept through the face of the former United forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Celtic soon showcased their lethal side on the hour mark, following a period of sustained pressure against the Red Devils. Petrov&#8217;s long-range drive crashed back off the crossbar and fell kindly to the feet of Hooper, who tapped into a free net.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simpson attempted to restore United&#8217;s lead, but the former full-back&#8217;s shot was safely clawed away by 42-year-old Lukasz Zaluska. Soon, Mikael Lustig&#8217;s deep cross from the right flank then found the feet of Georgios Samaras, whose side-footed effort sped just off the post, just before a penalty shootout. Following Danny Webber&#8217;s miss from 12 yards, O&#8217;Dea had all to shoot for in the final penalty round. Rolling the ball past Kevin Pilkington, O&#8217;Dea goal set up Paul Lambert&#8217;s side for victory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following the match, Rooney <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/sport\/30308517\/man-utd-celtic-live-score-start-time-tv-channel-stream-legends\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reacted to his performance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, saying, \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah, I\u2019m alright with the ball at my feet.
