Manchester United emphatically swept aside Tranmere at Prenton Park to ensure their name is in the hat for tomorrow’s FA Cup fifth round draw.
Tranmere started the better in the first few minutes, but once Harry Maguire’s wonder strike had given the Reds the lead, the result was a formality.
We saw goals from six separate starters for United this afternoon as Diogo Dalot, Jesse Lingard, Phil Jones, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood netted in a completely dominant performance.
There had been some concerns before kick over how a horrendous pitch would affect a depleted Man United side low on confidence.

But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer named a strong line-up that delivered an efficient and disciplined performance against the League One outfit.
After racing into a 5-0 lead after a rampant first-half, United unsurprisingly took their foot off the pedal in the second period ahead of Wednesday’s Carabao Cup second leg against Manchester City at the Etihad.
The emphatic scoreline did not stop United fans singing about the main problems at the club, however.
Vociferous chants were heard about Ed Woodward and the Glazers throughout the 90 minutes.

6-0 FT

Look, yes its Tranmere, they're atrocious. Think of a bad team, then think worse than that. They've been terrible.
But when was the last time United scored 5 in a game? Cardiff, Ole's 1st game. Last time United scored 5 in a half? Talking years and years.
Just enjoy a bit.
