Wigan Athletic 0 - 5 Manchester United
Five-star United run riot
Special day for Rooney and Owen at DW Stadium
Manchester United ended a difficult week in style as Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen both scored landmark strikes in a 5-0 demolition of Wigan at the DW Stadium.
If United were impotent in midweek against Burnley they were positively ruthless in a second half that saw them score five goals, four of them stunning, to more than justify Sir Alex Ferguson's decision to make seven changes to the side that slumped at Turf Moor.
After an entertaining but goalless first period Rooney broke the deadlock after half-time for his 100th United goal, via the most sublime of headers from Antonio Valencia's cross, before strike partner Dimitar Berbatov netted a wonderfully impudent goal of his own.
Rooney scored his second via a deflection off Mario Melchiot before his replacement Owen clipped in a brilliant fourth for his first in United colours.
The most polished of displays was given added gloss in injury time when Nani scored a fabulous free-kick from range.
