Manchester United became the first side to book their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup with a routine 3-1 win over Everton at Old Trafford on Friday evening.
United, who are looking into the prospect of signing Burnley striker Wout Weghorst on loan for the remainder of the season, sealed their passage to the next round thanks to goals from Antony, Conor Coady (own goal) and Marcus Rashford. It marked a seventh win on the bounce for Erik ten Hag's side, meaning they will head into Tuesday night's Carabao Cup quarter-final against Charlton Athletic with confidence flowing through their veins.
After Coady had cancelled out Antony's opener to ensure the scores were level at the half-time interval, United turned the screw after the break, inspired by the in-form Rashford. First, he saw a low cross into the box turned into the net by Coady before converting a late penalty to score his 13th goal of the season.
