Champions Manchester United kick off their English Premier League campaign 2009-1o against newly promoted Birmingham City at Old Trafford. The Red Devils are on a mission to win their 12th Premier League crown and 19th title overall. And it was Wayne Rooney who gave the champions their first goal of the season when he tapped in after his header rebounded off the post. It was Rooney's 99th goal for Manchester United. And just at the stroke of half time, Fletcher missed a sitter. United were unable to create any clear cut chances in the second half. Ben Foster was required to make a good save from Cristian Benitez and Michael Owen came on for his maiden premier league appearance with United and he had the chance to score in the last minute when Rooney sent him clear but his shot was saved off Hart. All in all, it was a satisfactory night for the champions as they had dropped points in their opening game in the last two seasons.Manchester United 1-0 Birmingham City
