Wigan v Man United player ratings: Tickle 8, Humphreys 5; Fernandes 8, Hojlund 6

Premier League side run out 2-0 winners over third-tier Latics in FA Cup third round

• 

  Sam Tickle 8/10

  WIGAN RATINGS: Busy night for 21-year-old keeper who faced 33 shots, with 14 on target. Produced a number of good saves, had no chance with Dalot’s fine finish and was sent wrong way by Fernandes’ from spot. APShow less

• 

  Sean Clare 6/10

  Combined well with Godo down right-hand side ahead of Aasgard’s opportunity in third minute. Struggled to deal with Rashford’s pace at times in first half but stuck to task and helped keep the England man quiet in second. Getty ImagesShow less

• 

  Liam Morrison 7/10

  Scottish centre-half had to provide regular back-up for Clare when Rashford cut inside from left which he did well. Good experience for young defender against international attackers. PA

• 

  Charlie Hughes 6/10

  Had home fans on their feet when he sold Hojlund an impressive dummy at the back but Danish striker was only denied first-half treble by combination of a Tickle save and poor finishing. Reuters

• 

  Steven Sessegnon 6/10

  Twin brother of Spurs winger Ryan was given tough time down left by the dangerous Garnacho, particularly in opening 45 minutes when Wigan were relieved to only concede one. Better after break when Garnacho’s influence waned. ReutersShow less

• 

  Babajide Adeeko 6/10

  Made some decent covering tackles screening the back four but Wigan’s midfield was generally overwhelmed when United moved up through the attacking gears. PA

• 

  Liam Shaw 6/10

  Midfielder, on loan from Scottish side Celtic, made a few biting tackles but barely touched Fernandes when United’s captain went down to win soft penalty, although didn’t need to go to ground and make challenge. APShow less

• 

  Jordan Jones 5/10

  Winger was frustrated when denied chance to launch potentially dangerous first-half counter-attack by poor handball call, but that was pretty much the extent of his attacking threat until 70th minute when low cross into box was cleared. ReutersShow less

• 

  Thelo Aasgaard 6/10

  Liverpool-born Norwegian wideman was denied goal in opening few minutes as Onana blocked his low strike, which was Wigan’s only shot on target in first half. Had another effort in last 10 minutes but sent shot from edge of area a metre wide of target. ReutersShow less

• 

  Martial Godo 7/10

  On-loan Fulham winger, and boyhood Man United fan, produced glorious cross across box to set-up Aasgard’s early chance in lively performance in first-half. Failed to connect with ambitious flicked effort on goal when well placed. PAShow less

• 

  Stephen Humphrys 5/10

  Top scorer returned to starting XI but had little sight of goal bar one effort deflected wide for corner late in first half. Well marshalled by United’s defence and replaced on the hour. Reuters

  Josh Magennis 5/10

• 

  Andre Onana 7/10

  MANCHESTER UNITED RATINGS: Got low to save the game’s first shot from Aasgaard after three minutes. And that was all he had to do in the game before he goes off to play in the Africa Cup of Nations. PAShow less

• 

  Aaron Wan-Bissaka 6/10

  Not a difficult night for the full-back, with the opposite full-back Dalot the headline maker. Defended well, supported the attack well. His fourth straight start. If he makes it five at the weekend, it'll be his biggest run of games in this injury-hit season. Getty ImagesShow less

• 

  Jonny Evans 7/10

  Another decent performance for the player who turned 36 last week. He’s already played more games this season for United than he did in the whole of last season for Leicester. Reuters

• 

  Raphael Varane 7/10

  Comfortable evening for him against the young, third-tier strugglers, until a hand swung into his face and floored him on just before hour mark. More touches than any other player on the pitch. AFP

• 

  Diogo Dalot 8/10

  Put his side ahead with a beautiful finish in 22nd minute. He doesn’t score many, but those he does tend to be top quality. Got forward on the left hand side. Won the man of the match award. Reuters

• 

  Scott McTominay 6/10

  Six shots. Sent good opportunities wide of target in both the first and second half. United and McTominay didn’t take their chances. AFP

• 

  Kobbie Mainoo 7/10

  Drew a good save from a low shot after an hour, after he’d produced a lovely first touch to set himself up. Got back quick to stop a Godo attack not long after at other end of pitch. Mature performance as United did their job. AFPShow less

• 

  Alejandro Garnacho 7/10

  Enjoying starting every game. Involved in overloads before the opening goal, set up Hojlund just before half-hour mark. Top effort five minutes before break which smashed the crossbar. Getty Images

• 

  Bruno Fernandes 8/10

  Set up a couple of chances for McTominay on in the first half that the Scot failed to take. Went down very easily to win a 73rd minute penalty, which he then put away sending the goalkeeper the wrong way. His first goal since November. AFPShow less

• 

  Rasmus Hojlund 6/10

  Headed shot over on half hour when he should have scored. As he also should from a rebounded Rashford shot on 35. Had two other chances. There are games when he gets little service. This wasn’t one of them. APShow less

• 

  Marcus Rashford 7/10

  Created his own space to get a shot and force an excellent save after 15 minutes. Thought he’d scored on 23 though ball didn’t cross the line. Free-kick went wide on 32. Cut inside on 35 to shoot on target. Also made key passes but was still frustrating to watch. PAShow less

Manchester United eased to a 2-0 FA Cup third-round victory over third-tier Wigan Athletic on Monday.

The Premier League side dominated at the DW Stadium – enjoying 33 attempts on goal, with 14 on target – but could only find the back of the net twice, with striker Rasmus Hojlund in particular guilty of a number of glaring misses.

In the end, goals in each half, from Diogo Dalot and a Bruno Fernandes penalty, were enough to earn Erik ten Hag's victory and a place in the fourth round, where they will face a trip to either League Two Newport or non-League Eastleigh.

“We created a lot of chances and what would have made the difference today was putting the ball in the net a bit more with the occasions which we had,” Dalot said on ITV1.

“They had one or two counter-attacks but overall we controlled the game and had some good moments.”

On his goal, the Portuguese full-back added: “It gave a little more comfort to the team. We needed a goal so we could be a little more calm and not rushing to score another one.

“We created a lot of chances and could have scored even more, overall that is what we missed today.”

The League One side could actually have taken a shock early lead when Thelo Aasgaard's low shot was well saved by Andre Onana in the third minute. But that was to be the Latics best chance of the game as the visitors quickly took charge of the tie.

Dalot scored in the 22nd minute when Marcus Rashford had a shot blocked before laying the ball off to the Portuguese, who took a touch before finding the bottom corner of the net from just outside the 18-yard box.

Rashford briefly celebrated what he thought was a goal when Sam Tickle fumbled his strike but the Wigan goalkeeper dived to gather the ball on the line.

Fellow forward Hojlund was left frustrated by a trio of near-misses before half-time, while winger Alejandro Garnacho had a shot that ricocheted off the bar.

Fernandes doubled United's lead in the 74th minute after Liam Shaw caught the captain's foot in the box and the Portuguese midfielder sent Tickle the wrong way from the spot.

“I'm proud of my players,” said Wigan manager Sean Maloney. “It was a difficult match. When you play an opponent that has that much talent in the final third, it's very hard to then press. I was really happy with our players.

“There were moments early and in these games, you have to take those chances. In fairness, Manchester United had a lot of chances as well. Difficult match but a brilliant experience for our players.”
