Manchester United cruised to the fifth round of the FA Cup on Sunday, beating Wigan Athletic 4-0 at Old Trafford.

Marouane Fellaini opened the scoring late in the first half, and Chris Smalling doubled the lead with a powerful header after the break.

The second goal opened the floodgates, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Bastian Schweinsteiger adding their names to the scoresheet.

As expected, United manager Jose Mourinho made a host of changes to his starting XI, introducing the likes of Anthony Martial, Sergio Romero and Schweinsteiger, per the club's official Twitter account:

The match didn't get off to the best of starts, as both teams prioritised the midfield battle early.
