Manchester United enters 2nd week of Jan facing tough competition from Wigan Athletic. Rooney scores the first goal giving the team a 1-0 lead.
Wednesday's game is the first of the Red Devils' games in hand and a win on Wednesday followed by another on Saturday at Bolton Wanderers could see Sir Alex Ferguson's men top the Premier League table by the time Liverpool are next in action.
Sometimes it seems that only the intervention of the proverbial men in white coats can stop modern English football's original mad genius. With the Champions League final looming in Moscow on 21 May, he seems unstoppable. Having beaten Chelsea to the title on the final day of the season, Ferguson proclaimed that his team had the edge for the game in nine days' time.
If Cristiano Ronaldo wanted a lesson in the respect this game can confer on a man, then he would do well to look at Giggs as the Portuguese prepares for another summer in which his name will be batted around by the biggest clubs in Europe. Ronaldo scored the penalty that set United on their way yesterday, his 41st goal of an incredible season, but we did not see the best of him.
Manchester United last meeting with Wigan in October at Old Trafford ended as a one-sided affair, with a brace by Ronaldo giving United a comfortable 4-0 victory.
There was a cost to the Red Devils as Rooney is now facing a spell on the sidelines with a hamstring injury that forced him off not long after his ninth goal of the season.
But provided the damage is not too extensive, the Red Devils will not worry, especially if they beat Bolton at the Reebok Stadium on Saturday to take top spot.
