Moyes off to a good start.

Two early goals in either half by Robin Van Persie handed new manager,David Moyes his first silverware as United manager.
The United hitman released Evra on the left flank and still stepped up to head home from Evra's cross.
  Wigan's James Mclean ran the left flank effectively and nearly assisted new boy,Holt,but who failed to turn up early at the rear post. Owen Coyle's men battled back into the game later in the half but were unlucky not to score.
United's mister consistent,Michael Carrick in posting a man of the match appearance paired in central midfield with Tom Cleverly. They had Mcarthur on the other side to counter them but the United lads smiled last. Rafael in right back for United was injured early in the half and was replaced by Chris Smalling. Grant Holt posed a serious physical threat to United's returning captain,Nemanja Vidic,whose presence added confidence and stability to the team.
  Early in the second half,a Robin Van Persie's low shot was deflected by James Perch above Scot Carson for United's second. From there,there was no coming back for Wigan.
Substitutions were made by both sides but the tempo of the game remained the same. Wigan gave a pretty good account of themselves but couldn't cap it up with a goal as Manchester United's goalkeeper,David de Gea remained unthreatened.
Antonio Valencia's number 7 was missing at the back of his jersey as it was replaced by his erstwhile number 25. It was later confirmed that the player requested for the change in jersey number.
The game ended after four minutes of extra time for David Moyes lifting his first trophy.
