UPDATES:

FIRST HALF UPDATES:

0' KICK OFF

0' United kick off! We're in red. Wigan in white and blue.

5' United controlling early possession but no chances yet.

10' Wigan have a good chance from a free kick near the halfway line. It's delivered deep and nodded out to the edge of the box and the resulting powerful strike is palmed away by Romero and eventually cleared by Romero as it dribbles back to him.

15' Wigan have played better so far and are playing with more purpose than United currently. Hopefully that changes soon.

20' Apparently we've had 70% possession but we've done literally nothing with the ball. We've been too slow on the counter and our passing in their half hasn't been good enough.

25' Wigan test Romero again with another powerful long range shot that he can only palm into the ground before gathering.

30' MKHITARYAN MISSES THE BEST CHANCE OF THE GAME! Martial pushes forward through the middle before spreading it to Fosu-Mensah whose low cross flashes across the 6 yard box only for Mkhi to mishit and put wide from yards out!

40' More Wigan pressure in the last few minutes but United's defence has been doing their job, albeit unconvincingly.

43' MANCHESTER UNITED GOAL A TYPICAL FELLAINI GOAL! Schweinsteiger plays a wonderful ball from the right wing to the back post and Fellaini outmuscles the Wigan defender to head home from a few yards out! Very simple.

45' ONE MINUTE ADDED

45+1' HALF TIME

SECOND HALF UPDATES:

45' KICK OFF! Wigan get us underway again!

50' Fosu-Mensah had an early chance but his left footed shot was dragged wide. Schweinsteiger also had a shot blocked after weaving his way through the defence. United have started brighter.

55' WIGAN ATHLETIC YELLOW CARD Buxton is booked for stopping a counter attack.

56' MANCHESTER UNITED GOAL SMALLING SCORES! Martial on the left wing gets the ball on his right foot and floats it towards the back post to Smalling who makes no mistake and heads powerfully past the Wigan goalkeeper.

57' WIGAN ATHLETIC SUBSTITUTION Wildschut ON || Perkins OFF

67' MANCHESTER UNITED SUBSTITUTION Tuanzebe ON || Fosu-Mensah OFF

70' WIGAN ATHLETIC SUBSTITUTION Tunnicliffe ON || Grigg OFF

70' MANCHESTER UNITED SUBSTITUTION Herrera ON || Fellaini OFF

70' The game's pace has slowed since we got our second goal and we look comfortable.

74' MANCHESTER UNITED GOAL MKHITARYAN GETS HIS GOAL! What a fantastic counter attack! United clear the ball from their box and it's Mkhitaryan breaking across the halfway line before feeding it left to Martial who duly bursts into the box and returns the ball to Mkhitaryan who taps it into the empty net! Box to box in less than 10 seconds.

75' WIGAN ATHLETIC SUBSTITUTION Browne ON || MacDonald OFF

79' MANCHESTER UNITED SUBSTITUTION Pereira ON || Romero OFF

80' MANCHESTER UNITED GOAL EVEN SCHWEINSTEIGER SCORES! A good corner is played in and Rojo's header down into the ground is hooked in an acrobatic fashion by Schweinsteiger into the back of the net as he's falling down.
