With Sir Alex Ferguson in Spain watching UEFA Champions League opponents Valencia, Mike Phelan was handed managerial duties for a United team making wholesale changes from their win over Liverpool. The hosts scored a shock opener when Josh Wright powered in, only for Darron Gibson to level with a fine lob. United settled after Chris Smalling's volley before the break with Scunthorpe restricted to long-range shots which were dealt with comfortably by Man of the Match Tomasz Kuszczak. Michael Owen tucked in when clean through, Park Ji-sung blasted home and Owen tapped in the fifth, leaving Martyn Woolford to score a consolation.
