Manchester United Advances in FA Cup with Win Over Wigan; FA Cup Fourth Round Draw Includes City vs Tottenham

City will continue the defense of their title by traveling to face Tottenham.

Manchester United avoided becoming the latest high-profile casualty in the FA Cup third round by easily beating Wigan 2-0 on Monday.

Portuguese internationals Diogo Dalot and Bruno Fernandes – with a penalty – scored United’s goals at the DW Stadium to set up a round of 32 matchup against Newport or Eastleigh, teams two leagues down.

United, who played in the FA Cup final last season and lost to Manchester City, having lost four of their previous six games in all competitions – increasing the pressure on manager Erik ten Hag – produced a dominant performance. against a team that last played in the Premier League in 2013.

That was also the last time Wigan won the FA Cup, beating City to the title, one of the biggest surprises of the competition.

Dalot opened the scoring in the 22nd minute and Fernandes added a second in the 74th after Liam Shaw tripped him.

There were no major surprises in the third round, although West Ham, Nottingham Forest and Luton all drew at home against lower division opposition.
