The Reds ran out winners by the same scoreline in the last round, away to Luton Town, and Scott McTominay set Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men on our way with a header on the stroke of half-time. Captain-for-the-night Juan Mata slotted home his 50th United goal, before substitute Paul Pogba saw his deflected free-kick fly in late on.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made 10 changes to the side that so dramatically beat the Seagulls on Saturday in the league, with Victor Lindelof the sole survivor from the 3-2 win. Harry Maguire missed out with a slight knock, meaning Mata skippered the Reds.
