Cristiano Ronaldo struck in the 75th minute to deny Derby a sensational draw – and send Manchester United top thanks to Arsenal’s draw with Middlesbrough.
Wayne Rooney crossed for Ronaldo to volley home and spare United’s blushes.
Ronaldo hit the post in the first half but United had debutant keeper Ben Foster to thank for twice keeping out Kenny Miller just before the break.
After scoring the goal, Ronaldo skipped clean through, only to be denied by former United team-mate Roy Carroll.
