On Saturday, Manchester United will host Wigan Athletic in an English Premier League fixture at the Old Trafford. Game time is set at 14:00 GMT.
Manchester United started of the season on a wrong foot as they suffered a 1-nil loss against Everton. However, they quickly rebounded with two consecutive wins against Fulham and Southampton. The Red Devils would miss the services of Wayne Rooney after he sustained a nasty cut in his legs in their last game against Southampton.
Recent transferee Robin Van Persie must now elevate his game further will his striker partner Rooney is out for a month. Van Persie leads the Premier League with 4 goals which is a good sign for the Red Devils.

If they contain Robin Van Persie's touches and shots on goal, they may have a chance to score an upset or settle the fixture to a draw. The Latics started the season with a win against Southampton. However, they were defeated by Chelsea in their next fixture and were held to a 2-2 draw by Stoke City in their last game.
The sportsbook handicappers have installed Manchester United as the favorite to win over Wigan Athletic this Saturday afternoon. It will be a good game between two teams who are slowly regaining their form and consistency.
