Play by play
- 95'
Well, that should be that and United's players celebrate as though they've won the title. They battled hard when things went against them early on here and scored two superb goals. All they need is a point on Saturday against Arsenal. Bye for now.
- 94'
Ronaldo heads away from the corner and that is full time!
- 94'
The ball nearly fell for Scharner as it dropped. Corner.
- 93'
Last chance for Wigan as they get a free kick 40 yards out.
- 92'
Wigan push up and have four in the box but Rodallega shuns crossing in favour of trying to beat three men and score. Needless to say, he can't manage it.
- 91'
Three minutes added...
- 90'
Ronaldo's missed a sitter! Giggs does extremely well and Ronaldo skips round Boyce but hammers his shot over the bar from nine yards out!
- 88'
Berbatov off and Park on.
- 87'
Well, how fitting that such a belter of a goal could be the one that seals the title for United. Surely, if they win this game they'll collect one point from their last two games and be crowned Champions. Again.
- 86'
What a strike! O'Shea got into the penalty area and got the ball across and Carrick has hammered it left footed into the top corner. A quality goal.
- 86'
GOAL! Carrick!
- 84'
Very fortuitous corner for United after Berbatov got the last touch. Mido whacks clear though so no harm done.
- 83'
Ronaldo gets round the side and fires in a low cross and Boyce blocks Tevez's effort, then Kingson claims as the ball spooned up in the air.
- 82'
Mido is coming on for N'Zogbia.
- 81'
Tevez tees up Ronaldo after holding the ball up well but his shot flies well, well wide.
- 80'
Rooney cuts in after Ronaldo's decoy run but hits it right at Kingson.
- 79'
Giggs tries to play in Ronaldo but Bramble is there to block. United pouring forward now, Wigan hanging on.
- 77'
Ronaldo has a couple of efforts as United play on after an injury to Paul Scharner put him down.
- 76'
Ronaldo's effort hits the wall again and Carrick hits the rebound wide with a side-footed effort from the edge of the box.
- 75'
Paul Scholes comes off and Ryan Giggs comes on as Ronaldo lines up a free kick from 30 yards out.
- 74'
A quarter of an hour left to find a winner.
- 72'
Ronaldo starts crying again after being denied a penalty. He got round Boyce and got a clip but went down in a funny way and Styles said no. Now Wigan get a goal kick when it was clearly a corner.
- 70'
Another opening wasted for Wigan as Valencia's delicate flick gave Scharner space to run into. His return ball was woefully short though and the chance was lost.
- 69'
Vidic's long ball for Ronaldo looks like its going out but the winger catches it. No-one can connect with his cross though.
- 67'
Tevez is flagged offside after a ball from Evra.
