Reaction from Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford on Saturday after his Manchester United side cruised into the fifth round off the FA Cup with a comfortable 3-1 win over Championship outfit Reading at Old Trafford.

The visitors, managed by former United great Paul Ince, kept a dominant home side at bay in the first half, but two goals in four minutes after the interval from Brazilian international Casemiro put Erik ten Hag's men in control.

Reading went down to ten men after Andy Carroll picked up a second yellow card and Casemiro's fellow countryman Fred added a third a minute later.

The visitors never gave up though and pulled a goal back through substitute substitute Amadou Salif Mbengue with 18 minutes left.

However, United saw out the match with ease and are in the draw for the last 16.
