Manchester United progressed to the semi-finals of the FA Cup after beating West Ham United 2-1 in the quarter final replay at Upton park.
Louis van Gaal’s struggling United side engineered a result when they needed the most in the final FA Cup game at West Ham’s historic ground. The Hammers will ply their trade in the Olympic Stadium from next season.
Coming back to the game, United did look like the stronger side of the two and produced a performance that even though lacked virtuosity, was not short on industry. Captain Wayne Rooney, who was named in the substitutes bench after missing two months worth of football, looked on as the young United front three of Anthony Martial, Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford tried toppling an impressive and resilient West Ham defence.
