Internet Desk: This Sunday, Manchester United thrashed Wigan 4-0 at Old Trafford and advanced to the last 16 of the FA Cup. Jose Mourinho’s team did not play so well, but took advantage of their superiority to build the good score against Wigan.

The Red Devils had many mistakes in the first leg and were only able to open the scoring in the 43rd minute. Fellaini appeared on the second crossbar, took advantage of a cross from Schweinsteiger and headed for the back of the net, making it 1-0 for the home team.

In the second half, at 57 minutes, Martial crossed from the left, Smalling went higher than everyone else in the area and widened the lead. At the 74th minute, Martial entered free on the left and rolled to Mkhitaryan, who had only to push to the goal.

At the 81st minute of the game, Schweinsteiger, who again had opportunities in the Manchester team, took a detour from Ander Herrera after a corner kick and completed to the bottom of the net, closing the scoring at the Theater of Dreams.
