A penalty was awarded in the match, but justification was done after Manchester United’s penalty was saved by the Wigan keeper. Even though begins to lost the match quite badly, the manager Roberto Martinez has said that the penalty early in the match gave his side a nervousness that they were unable to recover from throughout the match. He has said that his disappointed with the diving attitude of the England international Danny Welbeck, who recently extended his contract with the Old Trafford club.

“For Danny Welbeck’s last challenge, his foot was over the ball on Franco. It is completely reckless. Under the new regulations you cannot do that. I am not arguing whether they should be in the game or not. That is for others. But with the laws as they are, you cannot tackle people like that. The foot is over the ball. It is reckless and dangerous. It is a red card, for a Wigan player, Manchester United, everyone,” said the Wigan manager Roberto Martinez. Wigan have only one victory in the season till date.
