Manchester United 4-0 Wigan Athletic: FA Cup fourth round as it happened

Full-time: Manchester United 4-0 Wigan Athletic

(Marouane Fellaini, 44, Chris Smalling 57, Henrikh Mkhitaryan 74, Bastian Schweinsteiger)

Out the door four months ago, Schweinsteiger has today scored his first goal at Old Trafford for the club.

Martial leathers a superb half volley into the top corner but the referee has already blown for a free kick. It looks as if Schweinsteiger was penalised for a high boot, there.

Mata and Martial combine with a set of outrageous flicks on the edge of the box, before the ball is fed into Herrera. He is lucky his shot was blocked, otherwise it was heading out for a throw in.

Amid all that, Joel Pereira has also been brought on for his United debut in goal, replacing Sergio Romero.

That will be one of the most popular goals at Old Trafford this season. From that corner, Herrera leaps terrifically to nod the ball down into the six yard area where Schweinsteiger improvises brilliantly to hook the ball over his shoulder and into the near corner.

United are hunting a fourth. Luke Shaw looks for Martial with a cross from the left and the Frenchman leaps terrifically to nod it back across goal, but a Wigan defender knocks it away for a corner.

That's a fantastic counter attacking goal from Manchester United. A superb layoff from Rooney sets off Mkhitaryan, who races a good 50 yards upfield at the heart of the Wigan defence. He is joins by Martial, who gets the ball down the inside left before returning it to Mkhitaryan, feeding the Armenian at the near post for a tidy finish.

Rooney cheekily evades his man inside the right of the box and chips a ball back across for Mkhitaryan, who waits for the ball to drop down out of the air. He takes too long, however, and when he does take the shot on he's under too much pressure to direct it on target.

Fellaini comes off to a big ovation and is replaced by Ander Herrera; The Belgium international greatly improved as the game wore on, scoring the opener and effectively breaking up play in the middle in the second half.

Wigan are looking a it dead on their feet at the moment; United are stroking the ball around with confidence making them chase everything.

And here is that change, Fosu-Mensah is replaced by 19-year-old Tuanzebe.

Fosu-Mensah lands awkwardly and needs some treatment. If he can't continue, there could be a debut for Axel Tuanzebe.

United can breathe easy now. Shaw picks up a partially cleared corner and slides the ball back into Martial. He expertly drops a shoulder to fool Connolly and lifts a superb ball into the six yard area where Smalling, still up from the corner, is towering over his man to head home.

Goal! Manchester United 2-0 Wigan Athletic (Chris Smalling, 56)

United try to counter but Martial is cynically blocked off the ball by Burn. Yellow card for the Wigan defender.

Romero nearly gets his side into big trouble after a terribly weak punched clearance falls at the feet of Perkins, who drives one towards goal. Romero goes someway in making up for it, however, blocking the shot on goal and United clear.

Almost a big moment for Schweinsteiger! Wigan fail to clear the ball and it breaks nicely to him inside the box but his effort is charged down by Burn.

Fosu-Mensah harries and harries down the right flank, forcing Wigan into the mistake. The ball breaks to Rooney who threads one into the box for the Dutchman who continues his run into the box and decides to take the shot on rather than look across for Martial. He's in a good position to take the shot on, but he gets it all wrong and drags it wide of the near post.

Anthony Martial has moved out onto the left for United at the start of this half with Rooney moving up into a centre forward role.

And Wigan get us underway for the second half. No changes from either side yet.

United lead thanks to a goal from the big man Marouane Fellaini.

Half-time: Manchester United 1-0 Wigan Athletic

United break the deadlock! After some patient probing in front of the Wigan defence, United shift the ball out to Schweinsteiger who whips a terrific ball into Fellaini who easily outjumps his marker to plant a header past Haugaard.

We are into the final few minutes of the first-half at OId Trafford.

Connolly produces a fantastic diving header to divert away a Mata cross that seem destined for Martial. The Frenchman showed good movement to break into the box but the 19-year-old did superbly to follow the path of the ball.

A couple of bad moments for Luke Shaw there, misplaced passes and poor touches see a couple of United attacks break down.

Rooney clips it into the box, looking for Rojo, but Wigan force it away for a corner.

Schweinsteiger neatly sidesteps Warnock and is brought down by the Wigan defender about 30 yards out from goal.

Mkhitaryan comes close! It's United's best move of the game by some distance with Martial breaking at pace from his own half before finding Fosu-Mensah's overlapping run with an intelligent pass. The Dutchman whips in a superb first time ball for Mkhitaryan at the far post but he can't get a clean connection and the chance is gone.

On the break, Mkhitaryan is cut down by a challenge from Burn. No free kick is given and just to rub salt in the wounds, the throw in goes Wigan's way.

Wigan work a neat move down the right that draws Fosu-Mensah across as he tries to keep up with Perkins. He nudges the Wigan man in the back and it's a free kick out on the left flank.

United's first chance of the game. Shaw has space out on the left to swing in a very decent ball that is knocked down by Mkhitaryan into the path of Mata. He wind back his left peg to drive a half volley on goal but it veers just over the bar.

United are being completely outworked by Wigan at the moment; the Championship side are winning every second ball and are prepared to break forward whenever the opportunity presents itself. No one in a United shirt bar Mkhitaryan appears able to control the ball first time today.

Rojo and Romero get away with it at the back after trying to pass their way out of trouble with Fellaini helping out. He shifts the ball forward to Schweinsteiger who drives forward but his through ball attempt is awful, finding neither Martial nor Rooney.

Perkins easily strides past Fellaini and Mkhitaryan is called upon to track back and win the ball back. Prior to that, Fosu-Mensah lost out in a 50-50 challenge with Connolly down the left flank to invite pressure from the away side. Very poor from United so far.

Schweinsteiger, Fellaini and Rooney in the middle of the park is looking like a very immobile unit at the moment. United are struggling to move the ball along with any pace.

Smalling does well to shield the ball from two pressing Wigan players and shift it onto Schweinsteiger but the German doesn't react quick enough and is robbed of possession. He gives away the free kick which Wigan launch into the far post and the knock ball falls to Connolly who lashes a half volley on goal. Luckily for Romero, it's straight at him and he can punch clear.

Fellaini gets caught in a tangle inside the centre circle and Morsy is on him in a flash to nick the ball away, before being hauled back by the big Belgian. Wigan free kick.

Schweinsteiger now slides a simple pass straight out of play. Bit of a sloppy start from United. Wigan fans meanwhile are keeping themselves warm with a few renditions of 'Will Grigg's on fire.'

Martial gets the ball at his feet for the first time out on the right but gets his cross into the box awfully wrong. I'm not even sure who he was aiming for it was that bad.

And United get us underway.

Ahead of kick-off, Wayne Rooney will be presented with a trophy a week on from becoming the club's new record goal scorer.

Just under five minutes until kick-off at Old Trafford.

Luke Shaw has made just six starts in his comeback season following the horrific double leg break suffered in 2015. The England international has not played since the EFL Cup victory over West Ham United, with Mourinho suggesting the player's fitness and conditioning has not been up to scratch.

Of course, you try to have in the squad the players with more minutes, the players in better shape, in better condition.

A return against Reading in the third round of this competition was pencilled in only for the left-back to be struck down with illness. Will today mark his permanent return to the first-team?

Wigan meanwhile are unchanged from the side that beat Brentford last time out. Reece James, who made two appearances for the club under Louis van Gaal, makes the bench, hoping to make a dream return at Old Trafford having spent a year on the sidelines with ankle ligament and tendon problems.

Jose Mourinho makes nine changes to the side that lost to Hull City on Thursday night, with Chris Smalling and Marcos Rojo the only players to retain their places. The big news is that Bastian Schweinsteiger starts his first game in 385 days ; he starts alongside Marouane Fellaini midfield.

As promised, Anthony Martial and Luke Shaw return with Timothy Fosu-Mensah replacing Matteo Darmian at right-back. David de Gea, Antonio Valencia, Phil Jones, Paul Pogba and Michael Carrick all have the afternoon off but Jose Mourinho has kept Zlatan Ibrahimovic close by with a spot on the bench. There he is joined by 19-year-old Axel Tuanzebe, who will make his club debut if brought on today.

Manchester United team to face Wigan: Romero, Fosu-Mensah, Smalling, Rojo, Shaw, Fellaini, Schweinsteiger, Mkhitaryan, Mata, Martial, Rooney

Subs: Pereira, Blind, Tuanzebe, Herrera, Young, Ibrahimovic, Rashford

BREAKING: Bastian Schweinsteiger starts his first game in over a year. Luke Shaw and Anthony Martial return to the starting XI

Axel Tuanzebe looks in contention to make his senior Manchester United debut today. The 19-year-old, along with fellow academy starlet Tyrell Warren, was the first youngster at the club to be name checked by Mourinho following his arrival at the club and was given a run out in his first game in charge - a friendly against Wigan.

Team news: Wigan

Two former Manchester United players in Reece James and Nick Powell are ruled out for Wigan this afternoon.

James, along with Alex Gilbey returned from a long-term injury this week but this afternoon's game comes too soon for them.

It's too soon for them. They've been out for a lengthy period good to see them come through relatively unscathed. They both did ok as well so that was good for the club and the lads particularly. [Wildschut] he's not trained so far this week so we'll just assess him to see what goes on there.

Axel Tuanzebe, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Ashley Young and Bastian Schweinsteiger are among the United players to have just arrived at Old Trafford. No sign of Anthony Martial yet...

Team news: Manchester United

Could today be the day Axel Tuanzebe makes his senior debut for the club? Mourinho singled out the 19-year-old centre-half for praise this week, revealing out of all his youth team prospects, he is closest to making the step up. The United boss hinted some game time could come his way soon amid the club's frantic fixture schedule – there might not be a better opportunity for him beyond this afternoon.

We lost Morgan Schneiderlin and Memphis Depay, two players who didn't play many minutes or many matches for us. They were two players from the squad, so we need numbers and probably Axel is one of the boys that is in the academy who is more close to playing with us.

"So we have brought him up to give him more experience, to make the first-team more natural for him in case we need him to play in the upcoming matches and month, so he can be more adapted to us.

Besides Mourinho's comments, this may be the biggest hint that Bastian Schweinsteiger will be involved today. Whoever is behind the German's social media accounts saves these sort of updates only for when the midfielder is involved.

Team news: Manchester United

With today an ideal opportunity to rest Ander Herrera, Michael Carrick and Paul Pogba – who all played 90 minutes on Thursday against Hull City – today could be the perfect opportunity for Bastian Schweinsteiger to get in on the action.

I have to read the situation and decide. We don't have many midfield players - I played three [at Hull on Thursday]. Marouane Fellaini was on the bench and Basti stayed in Manchester so, normally, he comes into the squad.

Team news: Manchester United

Jose Mourinho has already confirmed Anthony Martial, Luke Shaw, Wayne Rooney and Sergio Romero will return to the team today. Martial was left out of the match day squad in United's last two matches having seemingly fallen out of favour, while Shaw is poised to start his first game since November.

Manchester United continue to battle on four fronts with Wigan Athletic looking to end that today. Yesterday, we saw Championship opposition eliminate one of the Premier League's elite when Wolverhampton Wanderers dismissed Liverpool.

Warren Joyce will be looking to weave similar magic this afternoon against the club where he spent eight years helping developing the best homegrown talent on offer. He's back at Old Trafford just three months after leaving the club to take over at the Latics with another huge cup upset firmly on his mind.
