FT
FULL-TIME
United are through. They deserve it, but for 74 minutes they gave Wigan hope.
Nevertheless, it’s Newport or Eastleigh away next up for United. They will be fancied to reach the fifth round and beyond…

FOUR MINS
Four minutes added on...
89'
MCCOIST PICKS DALOT
A tough call, player of the match, but McCoist has plumped for Dalot!
86'
JUST WIDE!
Looks like it’s destined for the top corner, but Fernandes’ first-time effort is just wide…
83'
MAN UTD SUB
Dalot, the first goalscorer, goes off - and on comes 19-year-old Kambwala.
81'
HMM
Thoughts?
76'
'I WOULDN'T HAVE GIVEN IT'
So says TNT Sports' very own Ally McCoist, commentating on ITV.
It's unlikely VAR would have overturned that. There was minimal contact...
74'
GOAL! WIGAN 0-2 MAN UTD (FERNANDES PEN)
Fernandes enjoyed that one – a huge roar.
Wigan fans boo, United fans cheer. The visitors are two goals clear and basically into the FA Cup fourth round after Fernandes places it one way after Tickle dives the other way.

PENALTY TO MAN UTD
Referee Anthony Taylor takes a good second or two here… but points to the spot after Shaw appears to get the slightest of touches on Fernandes.
Again, there’s no VAR, so there’s no debate, so don’t go complaining!
It was soft, mind… But hey, we’re NOT complaining. Really, we aren’t.
Fernandes to take…
71'
STILL 1-0
Still a chance for Wigan. They are only a goal down despite facing 22 attempts.
Tickle has made seven saves…
Could Wigan snatch a replay?!
68'
ANOTHER SHORT CORNER
And when the cross eventually comes in, Onana grabs it at the second time of asking.
67'
DEFLECTED!
Garnacho’s cross ricochets around and falls kindly for McTominay… whose effort deflects wide for a corner.
This time Fernandes tries his luck from a tight angle, and… it deflects wide for another corner! This one is wasted and Wigan clear…
Not only do they clear, they go on the counter and Godo earns Wigan a corner!
63'
LOW SAVE!
Another decent stop from Tickle, called into action for the first time this half. He gets down low to keep out Mainoo’s effort from distance.
61'
WIGAN SUB
Humphrys was only just back from a hip injury for Wigan but he’s off down the tunnel shaking his head and replaced by Magennis.
59'
ELBOW? NO VAR…
Varane goes down holding his face and replays show he was caught by Aasgaard, who may be a little lucky there’s no VAR tonight.
A malicious elbow? It’s hard to say, but he caught Varane for sure with his arm.
55'
WIGAN CROSSES
Wigan are still in this… Evans switches off after a throw-in and Wigan attack down the right, but Aasgaard’s cross is too strong for Godo to control.
Moments later, Godo sends in a dangerous cross himself but it bounces out for a goal kick.
Godo and Aasgaard have been lively!
54'
BLOCK!
United patient this half but turn it on in a flash there. A fine move sees Fernandes dummy the ball and then receive it from Hojlund before his shot is eventually blocked.
You got a sense Fernandes could have played it back to Hojlund again there, but the United skipper opted to go it alone.
51'
WATCH: GARNACHO OFF THE BAR
49'
QUIET START
United will surely have more chances soon but they’ve just started the half getting back into the groove, passing it around and making Wigan chase the ball – and the game.
2nd Half
46'
SECOND HALF
Back under way, and Wigan are still in this. They have to, and surely will, remember that.
