When Young Cristiano Ronaldo Became a Manchester United Legend SHOCKED Sir Alex Ferguson

Well Wigan was once famous only for its rugby league team and being something of a musical joke but not now. Paul Jewell and his players have changed all that and if they can achieve the impossible dream here today the road to Wigan Pier will lead all the way to Europe and not even Jewell. Cross. Rooney's header. What a start we've had here. They've scored in the opening seven minutes here. Which he takes. Rooney. Giggs. Familiar step over. Need to stop. Follow but they've had. Needs to get the ball out of play. Off the shot. Well it had to have been back distance but they need to get this ball out. Onshore. Chimbonda. Can't get the ball out of play. It's Ronaldo on the break for United. Samara's peeled away into a great position. Here's Giggs. Onto Ronaldo. Wild swing of it. The chances that Manchester United are having. Twice in three games of the month and he goes for goal. He was far enough out that he could put as much power as he wanted into it. To be able to do the most important thing going that's at the target. Cross. Away by Kavanagh. Bounce yourself back in goal scoring terms and then it comes each other's way. Chim you just feared the worst because when this young man gets in those sort of situations he doesn't usually disappoint. Giggs. The position's been excellent Manchester United. Too many players are in too much space. Gives it away. Goal for him. And that was under. We'll get the second half underway here. That's what I mean about him. He comes up with something like this. Leaves Rio Ferdinand absolutely for dead there. It's a tight tight angle and he does strike it. Ronaldo. Careless. Closing him down. He picks out. Instead of Chimbonda could have done more. You see Saha coming in from that far side. Will have spent years doing this. Making that kind of run. And Chimbonda just to me switches off totally. It just doesn't react. Gets his cross in. Roberts well placed. No it did well. Rio Ferdinand did well initially as well. He needs a call from his keeper. He needs a bit of a shout. He didn't get it. So he had to try and deal with it. He got a bit of help in the end from the goalie. And Rooney's on mark. And so too is Cristiano Ronaldo. As well I'll tell you. And on show doesn't use the goalkeeper. And that's awful. He knows that. And he's sparked for choice now. Saha could have picked out Rooney. Decided to go for Ronaldo. And he didn't disappoint. Portuguese lad. It's a lovely finish across the goalkeeper. Wigan Athletic 0. Don't deserve to be on the end of a scoreline like that. But this can be a very cruel game. Manchester United. But they don't switch off. They just don't deal it. There's no real reaction here. To be fair, Rio Ferdinand does his job. He keeps the ball in play. He keeps the ball alive. As it just pops up here. He's ever scored a hat-trick by the way in a legal close. If he wasn't so good to give him a run. He'd just been putting his foot through this. And doing what Ronaldo did. Smashing it across the goalkeeper. Into the far corner. And then he just might have created a little bit of a slip. Wigan. Happy in the second half. There's no issue for tricks like that. But I suppose. Actually Jason Wobbles did well. He tried to half him in two if you like. Yes he did. I don't think it's a time for short-boating. In 1986. And then 10 years later by Aston Villa. Against Leeds United. So that's another. That was awkward. Tasted success. In this competition. They're in the spotlight again.
