Manchester United advanced past the 3rd round of the FA Cup with a 1-0 win over Watford.

Scott McTominay, the side’s captain for the night, headed the only objective of the clash from an Alex Telles corner in the fifth minute. The remainder of the video game was a dull encounter, as Watford just threatened Dean Henderson’s objective by means of periodic set-pieces, while United without most of first-team gamers stopped working to include more objectives.

However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s choice to rest his crucial gamers resulted in an unusual start for Donny van de Beek.

The Dutch midfielder was United’s brightest gamer in the final-third, and a few of his passes and hallmark flicks might’ve resulted in an objective contribution or more together with more medical colleagues on the pitch.

His back-heel flick to Juan Mata minutes prior to the half-time whistle was gorgeous, and would’ve been United’s finest objective of the brand-new year had it passed by the Watford goalkeeper.

Paul Pogba was not in the team to deal with Watford, and in his post-match interview Solskjaer revealed that the French midfielder missed out on the tonight’s clash through injury.

At this minute, it’s uncertain if he will be fit to bet Burnley on Tuesday, however if he’s not readily available then in Van de Beek, the Norwegian tactician have a flexible replacement at his disposal.
