Van Gaal looks for his first trophy in England…
Manchester United scored three goals against Cambridge United in their FA Cup fourth round replay in a tie that should never have reached Old Trafford.
Wayne Rooney captained the side, and Juan Mata and Angel di Maria showed the League Two outfit what money can buy with the duo enjoying their night of football, while Paddy McNair and James Wilson gave a glimpse of the future for the Red Devils.

GK – David De Gea – 6/10
Didn’t have a spectacularly busy evening, but helped avoided a nightmare start by covering his angles well for Cambridge’s opening chance that hit the post.
RB – Patrick McNair – 7/10
Put in an excellent performance, supporting Rooney well on the wing, unafraid of getting a cross or shot in.
CB – Chris Smalling – 7/10
A leader in defence and pushed his side forward.
CB – Jonny Evans – 6/10
Found the high-ball difficult at times, but never truly tested.
LB – Marcos Rojo – 7/10
A nightmare for Cambridge down the left-wing, netted his first goal for the club.
RM – Wayne Rooney – 6/10
Did the job that was required on the right side in midfield, but there was nothing spectacular about the performance.
CM – Daley Blind – 7/10
Could have got the Red Devils off to a disastrous start after his error led to Cambridge hitting the post but recovered well, and helped control the midfield.
LM – Angel Di Maria – 8/10
Showed the League Two outfit what money can buy you by sublimely dribbling and passing around Cambridge for fun.
AM – Juan Mata – 9/10
Got his side rolling with the first goal to help ease any nerves.
RF – Robin van Persie – 7/10
Played a delicious ball to Rojo for the defender’s first club goal, yet should be disappointed not to have got on the scoresheet.
LF – Marouane Fellaini – 8/10
Played high on the left, winning high-balls and laying off to team-mates with ease. Set up the first goal.
