Robin van Persie scored twice against Wigan to give David Moyes his first trophy as Manchester United manager in a comfortable 2-0 Community Shield win at Wembley.
There was no Wayne Rooney
in the United squad as he continues to recover from a shoulder injury
with Ashley Young and Nani also rested due to various niggles. But United won without too much fuss courtesy of their predatory
Dutch forward, who netted his eighth goal in six games against last
season's FA Cup winners.
Van Persie flicked a pass out to Patrice Evra before dashing into the opposition area to direct a header into the corner of the net on six minutes. He killed off Wigan with a second goal on 59 minutes when he turned
on the edge of the opposition box to shoot. Wigan goalkeeper Scott Carson was left with no chance as the ball wrong-footed him via the boot of the unfortunate James Perch.
Wigan have now beaten Manchester United only once in 18 attempts in
all competitions, losing the other 17. Owen Coyle's side could not
really grumble with this outcome.
The first half was not exactly overflowing with chances at either
end, but United could easily have moved two to the good on 16 minutes
when Leon Barnett did wonderfully well to cut out a cross from Wilfried
Zaha with Danny Welbeck threatening to score from close range.
