Wayne Rooney return could not have returned on a better day for Manchester United as Sir Alex Ferguson’s side took full advantage of their title rivals’ misfortunes. United brushed aside Wigan, who self-destructed in the second half with two unnecessary red cards, but perhaps more importantly Rooney made his first appearance since the contract saga that saw the England striker threaten to leave before signing a new five-year deal.

The setbacks suffered by Arsenal and Chelsea made it imperative that United did not slip up too and they made no mistakes as headers by Patrice Evra and Javier Hernandez ensured Ferguson’s men second spot in the Premier League table, behind leaders Chelsea only on goal difference. Rooney could have put the icing on the cake by scoring too but passed up a glorious opportunity.
