Wayne Rooney netted twice including his 100th goal for Manchester United as Sir Alex Ferguson’s side rebounded from their shock midweek defeat by hammering Wigan 5-0 at the DW Stadium. The England striker brought up his century on 56 minutes, meeting Antonio Valencia’s right-wing cross with a powerful, well-directed header that gave Wigan goalkeeper Chris Kirkland no chance.
Dimitar Berbatov made the game safe just two minutes later with a neat finish, with Rooney completing a three-goal United salvo in nine minutes when his shot deflected into the corner off Mario Melchiot.
Substitute Michael Owen added a fourth with a clinically-taken strike five minutes from time and Nani completed the rout with a curling free-kick in stoppage time.
