The guys in Red have met the Latics for a Total of 10 times,10 Very forgettable times for Wigan though as out of that 10 games.Two games have ended with a 5-0 mauling and with 3 goals average per game.Man Utd have hit the back of the net for 31 times so expect a tough mauling for the Man in Blue and white.For Wigan though we can expect them to have a quiet time at Man Utd Goal with only 4 goals scored plus it looked like even the premier league stats don't seem pleasing as they are the league's lowest Scorers.
And if that wasn't the worst,Their Nemesis Wayne Rooney who has scored 9 goals in 11 games against them was back in the squad after a rehabilitation at the USA But he was a reserve with Macheda and Obertan leading the Charge.But as usual,Man Utd started the more gentler and Wigan almost paid them off with a chance by Nzgobia.All seemed to be under control for Wigan leading to the first half.But Man Utd showed them a little of why your defence must never go to sleep as a cross By Park Ji Sung late in the half was headed in brilliantly by The Unlikely Evra who scored his second goal in 147 appearances for the Men in Red.
With the lead,Alex still brought on The So called 'Secret Weapon' When 12 minutes into the second half Rooney was brought on for Macheda who didn't seem effective at all playing in the first 11.Rooney surprisingly receive a mix Reception of Cheers and boos which was a surprise for me at least.I expected all boos only.But being Rooney,Well the newer Rooney...He again didn't seem to be on his form as he was lacking that agility which took him so high.He barely even have a kick at the ball or touch(I think) as The Home side advantage took an even better route as Alvarez(The captain of Wigan) Was sent off for a second bookable offense which i think was Harsh.Minutes later,Rodallega got sent off on a straight red card.Now that I had nothing to say as that lunge had no meaning in it even though it was not malicious.It was a blow For Martinez who even before he could reshuffle after the sending of Alcarez had to receive another player of the field.Numerical was on Man Utd Side,And soon Rooney had the chance to Shine with A cross By Rafael to him was superbly tipped over by Al Habsi.
Rafael was soon enjoying life at the right side as Wigan's Numerical advantage didn't allow them even close him down and that soon penetrated when a Cross by him superbly headed by Chicharito Who doesn't seem to lose his improvisation with his head to make it a 2:0 Lead.Wigan were just waiting for the final whistle to go and Chicharito almost made it his 5th goal of the season when Again Rafael Crossed but He missed an open goal though it seems Nani got that faint touch to put him off.And in the final Minutes,Man Utd had one final go with Scholes trying a long range shot which deflected to Evra who had the goal at his mercy but struck it wide.
To conclude the game,I don't think Macheda And Obertan are really good enough to step up for the first 11 just yet although i Still think they will be great super sub.Well i also expected Utd to score more goals with 2 men more but That's Utd..They rather just get the job done unlike other top teams i've seen in the league.They have been not consistent but we got to remember the other top teams aren't too and they are still unbeaten so that shows that they are not doing a bad job.One more thing i would like to point out is the Low on confidence By Rooney as i expected him to be a better form man after the reconditioning but he just look the same.And About The Berbatov not being in the squad,I guessed that he was being rested for the Uefa champions league game?...Nevertheless,A great win for Utd to put them back at it with same points with Chelsea
