Manchester United storm into the Club World Cup final following a breathless 5-3 win over Gamba Osaka.

Nemanja Vidic and Cristiano Ronaldo easily converted first-half headers but Masato Yamazaki pulled a classy goal back for the plucky Japanese side.

Substitute Wayne Rooney bustled through to score with his first touch seconds later before Darren Fletcher nodded in.

Rooney added a fifth though a late flurry saw Yasuhito Endo convert a penalty and Hideo Hashimoto fire home.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s side now face Liga de Quito in Sunday’s final, while Osaka will meet Pachuca in the match for third place.
