Wayne Rooney became Manchester United's joint top scorer of all-time after netting in the Red Devils' 4-0 win over Reading in the FA Cup.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba were dropped to the bench, as Marcus Rashford and Wayne Rooney started in the attack.
The Red Devils broke the deadlock after seven minutes as Rooney turned home Juan Mata's cross with an unorthodox finish from six-yards out.
Th lead was doubled in the 15th minute, as Anthony Martial played a one-two with Rooney, before calmly slotting into the bottom corner.
United did have chances to extend their lead but Marcus Rashford squandered two glorious chances midway through the opening half.
Reading were on the back foot for most of the first half, and failed to mount any serious attempts at Sergio Romero's goal.
The Red Devils eventually bagged a third goal in the 74th minute, as Rashford latched onto a pass from Michael Carrick before calmly slotting into the bottom corner.
Rashford bagged his second and United's fourth a few minutes later, as the striker pounced an error from Al Habsi to fire into an empty net.
Jose Mourinho's charges managed to see out the closing stages with relative ease as they book their spot in the fourth round.
