Manchester United's attacking trio of Carlos Tevez, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney put their side top of the table for the first time this season. ManU beat Wigan away 4-0 (0-0) on Saturday.
Tevez's darting run and then his strength and composure to drill into the net gave them a second-half lead. Tevez's goal provided ample demonstration why Ferguson was so keen to bring the Argentine to Old Trafford. The former West Ham forward had the speed and strength to hold off Kevin Kilbane, before drilling the shot into the corner of the goal.
Soon after Ronaldo headed in from close range following a United corner. United confirmed their dominance when Rooney set up Ronaldo, before the England striker headed in the fourth.
Austrian midfielder Paul Scharner (Wigan) missed a good chance in the first half when Patrice Evra reacted quickly to hook the ball away from the Austrian preparing to shoot.
Paul Scharner wasn't called up for the Austrian national team despite his good form and renewed willingness to help Josef Hickersberger's men when they are going to seek their first victory of this year in the upcoming friendlies against Switzerland and Cote d'Ivoire.
