MANCHESTER, England -- Three points on Manchester United's 4-0 win vs. Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup fourth round.
1. United book last-16 spot with few alarms
"Are you watching, Merseyside?" came the question from Old Trafford's Stretford End. First Everton and then Liverpool have gone out of the FA Cup in their own ground this season; in contrast, Manchester United recorded a second straight 4-0 home win against Championship opposition to secure smooth progression to the fifth round.
The holders saw off the 2013 winners even if, while their then-manager Roberto Martinez was in the crowd, Wigan scarcely resemble that side.
