Manchester United started their FA Cup campaign in style when they defeated Reading 2-0 at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer becomes the first manager in united history to win his first five matches in all competitions in charge thanks to goals from Juan Mata and Romelu Lukaku.

Tahith Chong came off the bench to make his senior debut, and speaking after the game Solskjaer admitted he made it tough with his team selection. "We are delighted we are through," he said.

"I made it tough for us, when you make nine changes it is never easy, but I am delighted we are into the next round. We learned a lot, but we know we need some fitness work; we need to work on relations. I put a team together which had never played together and we are through.”
