Robin van Persie ensured the David Moyes era at Manchester United
began with a trophy as Wigan were beaten in the FA Community Shield at
Wembley.
New United boss Moyes has spent most of his summer
discussing the future of Wayne Rooney,
but back on the pitch it was last year's top scorer Van Persie who again proved the difference.
The Dutchman took just six minutes to open his account for the new
season, steering a powerful header into the corner from Patrice Evra's
clipped cross.
And while Championship side Wigan
impressed for periods, Van Persie settled the contest after the break
when he fired in via a deflection.
In truth, a victory against last season's surprise FA
Cup winners was the minimum required from Moyes's meaningful debut in
the United dugout as he began
the ominous task of replacing Sir Alex Ferguson.
And while his side looked sharp in spells - with veteran Ryan Giggs particularly impressive in the opening stages - Moyes may have been concerned by the ease with which Wigan controlled the ball either side of half-time.
