Manchester United wore down Wigan's resistance to secure passage to the FA Cup fifth round with a comfortable 4-0 victory at Old Trafford.
Former United coach Warren Joyce returned to Old Trafford as Wigan boss on Sunday, and kept Jose Mourinho's Red Devils quiet for the majority of the first half after Wayne Rooney was presented with a pre-match trophy for surpassing Sir Bobby Charlton's club goalscoring record.
But the Championship side's resistance was broken a minute before the interval as Bastian Schewinsteiger crossed for Marouane Fellaini to head home at the back post.
Anthony Martial had struggled during the opening 45 minutes, but a switch to the left flank paid dividends as he set up both Chris Smalling and Henrikh Mkhitaryan to make the game safe for the hosts.

Mourinho was able to hand Axel Tuanzebe and goalkeeper Joel Pereira their United debuts off the bench, while Schweinsteiger hooked in a fine scissor-kick volley to huge cheers from the Old Trafford crowd to cap a fine performance.
