Manchester United were held to a goalless draw by defending champions Liverpool in the Premier League a week ago.

Man United produced a sensational display at home to edge through into the next round of the competition.

Man United vs Liverpool FA Cup results: Solskjaer's men triumphant against Anfield outfit 

Man United conceded early in the 18th minute when Mohamed Salah chipped in over Dean Henderson after Roberto Firmino put him through on a one-on-one situation. But Mason Greenwood equalised soon, completing an epic counter-attack. Marcus Rashford put his side in the driving seat for the first time in the game minutes into the second half. 

But Man United had no answer to Salah's brilliance as he levelled up for Klopp following a horrendous mistake from Edinson Cavani. Things took a turn for the better for the hosts when Sadio Mane fouled Fred. Man United were awarded a free-kick with Mane receiving a yellow card. 

And Bruno Fernandes stepped up for the set-piece, netting a sensational freekick-in the far bottom right corner. Despite Liverpool's possession-dominance, the Red Devils capitalised on their chances to win the tie. The Old Trafford outfit next play West Ham United in the competition.

But Jordan Clark pulled one goal back in the 30th minute, striking a sensational volley past Kepa Arrizabalaga. Tammy Abraham, however, went on to complete his hat-trick, completing a clinical finish from a close range. The Stamford Bridge outfit next play Barnsley in the fifth round.
