Wigan 0 Man Utd 2: Ten Hag eases some pressure and sets up potential FA Cup fourth round clash vs non-league minnows
A RELATIVELY straightforward night for Manchester United and it is not often you can say that.
Even in victory it is rarely so at the moment.
But goals here at the DW Stadium from Diogo Dalot in the 22nd minute and a 74th minute penalty from Bruno Fernandes got the job done to put the Red Devils in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
With Eastleigh or Newport awaiting there further progress should come.
They could even mask the travails in the league by getting all the way to Wembley.
Even the very best in Sir Alex Ferguson did that over 30 years ago.
Still Erik ten Hag was left wondering how two, wasn’t’ four, five or six given the number of chances they had.

It wasn’t until Fernandes scored that pen was their dominance more properly reflected in the scoreline.
