Good clean fun.

Didn't realise Andy Carroll was still around, the big nasty oaf.

Great until Carroll got sent off. After that they seemed to have more players than us not fewer.

Didn't need to play at a high tempo. Good win.

Should Carrol have been sent off for the challenge on Eriksen first?

Aside from some comical defending at the end we did our job. Gutted Rashford’s goal didn’t stand for the record, how can it be offside if played off the defender?

Antony’s best performance so far, very encouraging. Casemiro? Say less, the man is brilliant.

Shame no TRA at OT tonight and it showed.

Good win with exceptional performances from our right side of Antony, Casemiro and AWB. We've come a long way from when 90% of our attacks came from the left hand side. Rashford being robbed of the record is the only blemish.

United minus the Glazers
I think Antony will surprise many on here with his progression. He has a lot more to his game than most people give him credit for

Casemiro with the Cashmere touch. Antony + Casemiro = 3. Buy more Brasilians.

If Carroll got sent off earlier we'd be in trouble.

Job done, though I was starting to get nervous after 1st half ended 0-0. We're into next round which is most important, draw for 5th round is Monday evening, think before Derby-West Ham game.

Easy game. As you'd expect when we go strongest 11 in midfield and attack. Totally unnecessary why we couldn't start Fred and one of the 2 young wingers, but anyway, we'll see the effects of things like this later on. Nothing too interesting otherwise. Casemiro is the best DM in the world, Reading is a bottom half Championship side, so yeah he's a class apart there. Didn't score in the first half but created plenty and just didn't get the goal which eventually came.

Didn't know Andy Carroll was still a footballer, predictably still a cnut though.

We were a bit sloppy and should have managed the game a bit better being 3 goals and a man up. But hey, we’re in the next round

Job done, got a bit sloppy towards the end and those old defensive frailties reared their head once there was none of Varane, Casemiro, Licha on the pitch, which I suppose isn't that surprising. Antony played some nice passes in behind tonight and got the assist he deserved, hopefully he builds on that.

Wanted Williams (in case we need him) on for AWB but fine with that otherwise.

Solid win. Should have scored more but it is what it is.

Good result but it's time to ship out Elanga and maybe bring in another forward on loan.
