With a strong showing at the DW Stadium on Monday, the Red Devils, led by manager Erik ten Hag, reduced the rising strain on themselves.
Even though everyone was talking about Manchester United’s FA Cup victory, Juventus was also celebrating a significant victory over Salernitana on a global scale. But the attention soon turned to the FA Cup action, where United’s victory was cemented by Diogo Dalot’s first-half goal and a controversial penalty converted by Bruno Fernandes.
With a precise assist from Marcus Rashford, Dalot’s elegant strike found the back of the net as United dominated the game. United’s attacking flair was visible throughout the game despite a few squandered opportunities.
Alejandro Garnacho’s effort likewise struck the wall after Rasmus Hojlund’s strong header struck the crossbar.

Early in the game, Andre Onana, who was covering United’s goal, was put to the test, but he remained composed. United tightened their hold as the game went on, setting the pace and producing numerous opportunities.
The decisive moment came when Fernandes calmly converted a controversial penalty call to advance United to the following round. Wigan was disappointed, but United’s tenacity and skillful finishing made sure they won.
In addition to expressing his happiness with the team’s performance, manager Erik ten Hag stressed the significance of winning the knockout competition.
