Manchester United maintained their status as the only Premier League team to still be fighting in four competitions after easing past Reading 3-1 in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday evening.
Casemiro found the breakthrough nine minutes after the break before his long-range effort doubled the lead on 58 minutes. Andy Carroll was sent off for two rash challenges seven minutes later before Fred got a third goal for the hosts on 66 minutes.
Amadou Salif Mbengue managed to nod in a consolation on 72 minutes but United held firm to make it to the last 16 of the competition. United are now 12 home games unbeaten, having not lost since the 1-0 Europa League defeat to Real Sociedad in September.
