Manchester United 4-0 Wigan - League Cup Final 2006

26 February 2006 | Carling Cup | Final While this contest provided little true corroboration of Sir Alex Ferguson's claim that he has a young team that will flourish in a couple of years, the players certainly imitated the stance of celebrated predecessors at United. They established their superiority with a flourish. The manager, picking Louis Saha in preference to Ruud van Nistelrooy, had put the accent on pace for a specific purpose. Wigan, who have now gone 10 games without a clean sheet, are ponderous in defence and the creaking of the centre-backs was ear-splitting.
