Manchester United proved too strong for League One Wigan Athletic as Erik ten Hag’s side moved into the fourth round of the Football Association Cup.
Diogo Dalot fired the 12-time cup winners into a 22nd-minute lead with a fine curling strike after the impressive Marcus Rashford had a shot blocked.
Rasmus Hojlund’s diving header clipped the bar, Rashford had an attempt fumbled against the post by Wigan goalkeeper Sam Tickle and Alejandro Garnacho’s well-hit 20-yard effort also bounced off the woodwork as United pushed for a second.
MEANWHILE, The draw for the fourth round took place just before kick-off and Manchester United will face either Newport County, 18th in League Two, or non-league Eastleigh – 11th in the National League and the second-lowest ranked side remaining.
