Manchester United secured a much-needed victory away from home, defeating Wigan Athletic 2-0 to advance to the fourth round of the FA Cup. In a season plagued by poor results, Erik ten Hag’s side aimed to salvage their campaign through FA Cup success.
Despite a shaky start, United’s dominance in the first half resulted in a deserved lead, with Diogo Dalot’s excellent curling effort finding the back of the net. However, Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund struggled up front, with Hojlund missing several key chances, including a glaring sitter, and Alejandro Garnacho hitting the bar.
While the second half saw United easing off, Bruno Fernandes ensured victory by converting a penalty with skillful footwork. The win, United’s first away from Old Trafford since November, was a crucial step in overcoming their recent struggles and provided a glimmer of hope in a challenging season.”
