With his excellent form in recent rounds and Rooney's injury, striker Javier Hernandez continued to be given a starting position by Sir Alex. Joining the Mexican striker in MU's attack is none other than Robin van Persie.

Meanwhile, Nemanja Vidic and Shinji Kagawa, although recovered from injury, still had to sit on the bench.

Although playing away, right after the opening whistle, MU continuously put pressure on Al Habsi's goal.

In the 5th minute, van Persie coordinated with Chicharito before firing a close-range shot, but goalkeeper Al-Habsi still managed to dive in time to save the home team.

In the 11th minute, Chicharito scored against Wigan after a pass from veteran Ryan Giggs. However, the goal was disallowed because the referee determined that the Mexican striker was offside.

In the following minutes, Wigan's defense played quite focused, making it difficult for the away team's striker duo, van Persie and Chicharito, to shine.

In the 18th minute, after trying to attack the ball on the right wing, Rafael went inside for Chicharito but the Mexican striker could not successfully receive the ball.

Despite creating many dangerous situations, according to statistics, MU is the team being pressured. In the 28th minute, Wigan's ball possession rate is up to 60%.

In the 30th minute, Figueroa fouled Young. MU was awarded a free kick on the right wing. Van Persie fired a shot but was blocked by Al-Hobsi. Immediately, Giggs rushed in to score but still could not put the ball in the home team's net.

In the 33rd minute, Rafael took a decisive long-range shot but goalkeeper Al Habsi was able to fly to save the goal for Wigan.

MU's continuous attacking efforts were finally rewarded in the 35th minute. After Evra's powerful shot, goalkeeper Al Habsi pushed the ball away, and the "little bean" quickly rushed in to tap the ball into the net to open the score of the match.

With the goal to break the deadlock, Man United played better and better. And in the 43rd minute, van Persie spoke up to double the gap for MU. After a delicate turn, the Dutch striker accurately curled the ball past Al Habsi.

The first half ended with a score of 2-0 in favor of MU.

Entering the second half, MU, despite having a two-goal advantage, still pushed up their formation to look for more goals.

In the 50th minute, Chicharito had a chance to shoot but was blocked by Figueroa.

Just 3 minutes later, Chicharito fired a shot from over 30 meters away but the ball was not really dangerous.

In the 59th minute, Di Santo scored against MU after receiving a pass from Kone, but just like Chicharito's situation in the first half, the referee did not recognize the goal because he thought Di Santo was in an offside position before.

In the 63rd minute, the duo of van Persie and Chicharito continued to speak up. Van Persie passed the ball to Chicharito. The Mexican striker fired a powerful shot from 15 meters to bring the third goal for the "Red Devils."

In the 70th minute, both teams made substitutions. On MU's side, Kagawa and Smalling came on to replace Carrick and Ferdinand. Meanwhile, the home team sent Stam and Gomez on to replace Caldwell and Di Santo.

As soon as he entered the field, Stam immediately fired a shot forcing De Gea to show off his punching skills.

In the 75th minute, at Etihad Stadium, Man City was also leading Stoke 3-0.

In the 84th minute, Gomez took a strange corner kick and almost brought a goal for the home team.

Unfortunately for the home team, their efforts were doused with cold water four minutes later when Welbeck dribbled past two Wigan players before passing the ball to van Persie who fired past Al-Habsi.

The match ended with a 4-0 victory in favor of M.U.
