Welcome to live text coverage of Manchester United's Premier League clash with Wigan Athletic at Old Trafford.

Ramis and Caldwell are among those who come up for the corner as Wigan end up taking it short, and the set piece is rather wasted as Maloney overhits his cross.

United continue to dominate the possession, but Wigan are looking dangerous on the break with the pace of Kone and the movement of Di Santo.

Wigan have failed to score in eight of the last 10 league games against Man Utd.

Boyce evades two challenges, from Giggs and Buttner, before shooting into the side netting! It's an encouraging foray from the defender.

Kone and Di Santo are working extremely hard to close down the United back four, and the pair are impressing early on.

Welbeck heads over at the other end as a cross comes over from Carrick, and the forward should have hit the target there - it soars over.

Ivan Ramis rises above Ferdinand to head narrowly wide of the far post from a corner, and Lindegaard would not have prevented a goal there as the ball drifts just past the woodwork!

Scholes lunges in as Maloney takes the ball forward, and he has to be careful - his tackling is always dubious, and that was only just acceptable.

The home fans are in full voice now as Giggs whips over a second corner in successive minutes, but Wigan manage to clear under pressure.

The referee stops a corner to give Hernandez a ticking off as he jostles with Al Habsi inside the Wigan box.

United win a corner as Caldwell concedes it, lunging in to turn a Welbeck shot behind.

Scholes is dictating affairs from the midfield, and he finds Welbeck once more, who continues to cause havoc with his pace and direct approach.

What an effort from Welbeck, who swivels and shoots crisply, agonisingly wide of the far post with Al Habsi left flat-footed! Wigan were caught out there.

Wigan have lost just two of their last nine Premier League games (W6 D1 L2).

Caldwell fouls Hernandez as he gets a bit too tight to the Mexican forward, but Martinez is still happy with his side's start to this match.

What a challenge from Figueroa! Welbeck again gets in behind the Wigan back four with his pace taking him clear, but Figueroa slides in late to make a fine intervention.

Nani takes the ball infield from the right, and Scholes then sprays the ball wide to Buttner, who is playing pretty far up the field.

United had won all 14 meetings in all competitions with Wigan prior to their defeat in April last season, and they have started very positively this afternoon.

Rafael is seeing a lot of the ball out on the right for United, but Maloney is ensuring that he cannot press too far up the field.

Al Habsi punts a long ball upfield as Wigan press the United back four, but debutant Buttner is able to bring the ball forward.

STAT: Sir Alex Ferguson’s side have won 36 and lost just two of their last 41 Premier League games at Old Trafford and have dropped just two of the last 30 points available on home soil.
