Despite 14 first-half attempts, including close misses from Antony and Wout Weghorst, United failed to beat the scoreline against a side that like to stay compact behind the ball.

After 35 minutes they thought they had scored the opening goal, but a VAR review determined it was an offside. While Weghorst was ruled offside in the build-up after Reading’s touch of the ball before he reached it was deemed not to be an intentional play, Rashford, who was aiming for a record of the club for the 10th consecutive game at home with a goal, headed the ball. on the line at close range.

United were scared at the other end just before half-time. Tyrell Malacia fired a cross to the back post without realizing Hoilett was behind him, allowing the Canada international to slip in and earn a shot on goal that required a quick reaction from David de Gea.

United took just nine minutes into the second half to finally score, perhaps encouraged by that escape or some stern words from Ten Hag at intermission. All of the Brazilian players contributed to the goal, which Casemiro finished with a deft chip over Joe Lumley in the Reading goal after Antony provided a superbly weighted pass.

The game was pretty much over as a contest four minutes later. Highly confident, Casemiro attempted to beat Lumley with a long-range effort that received the tiniest of deflections from defender Thomas Holmes.

Old Trafford fans cheered as they saw former Liverpool rival Carroll trudging down the tunnel 25 minutes earlier after coming late on Casemiro to receive a second yellow card, leaving little room for the protest.

Fred, who was introduced as Ten Hag made second-half substitutions, skillfully turned behind his back to head Fernandes’ low cross into the net as Reading still suffered from that latest setback, sealing United’s through to the knockout stages of final.
