Manchester United's Diogo Dalot and Bruno Fernandes scored in each half to secure a 2-0 win over Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup third round on Monday evening.
The victory over the third division was a welcome relief for the 12-time FA Cup winners, who are out of Europe and the League Cup and languishing in eighth place in the Premier League.
Dalot scored in the 22nd minute when Marcus Rashford had a shot blocked before laying the ball to the Portuguese, who took a touch before finding the bottom corner.
Fernandes doubled United's lead in the 74th with a penalty after Liam Shaw caught the captain's foot in the penalty area.
Mail Sport's Ian Ladyman rated the players at the DW Stadium.
