as a second-half substitute against Burnley on Wednesday.

MATCH PREVIEW
- The youngest manager in the league hosts the oldest in one of the most
one-sided fixtures in the Premier League - on paper at least.
- Manchester United boast a 100% record against Wigan having won all previous
eight league meetings between the clubs.
- But Sir Alex Ferguson's side head into their second North West derby of the
week with a big question mark over their title credentials.
- Wednesday's slip-up at Burnley was United's first defeat to a newly-promoted
side in four years. For the last two seasons the champions have managed only
one win in their opening four league matches and still gone on to win the
title, but Ferguson will be keen to avoid a second slip-up in four days.
- Wigan suffered their own midweek set-back, Tuesday's home defeat to
newly-promoted Wolves somewhat taking the gloss off an impressive opening
day victory at Aston Villa.
- But Latics boss Roberto Martinez will be relishing his first head-to-head
against Ferguson, whose managerial career pre-dates Martinez's first
birthday.
