LONDON, (Reuters) – Manchester United were crowned English champions for a record 19th time yesterday when Wayne Rooney’s penalty earned a 1-1 draw at Blackburn Rovers and the point they needed to win the Premier League title.
Rooney, who came close to quitting United earlier in the season, struck the equaliser in the 73rd minute to take United seven points ahead of Chelsea, who have two games to play.
It is United’s 12th title since the Premier League
