Highlights

90+2'

FULL-TIME

Never in doubt? Absolutely not.

United could have struggled this afternoon against a plucky Tranmere side but they've got the job done and done it well.

12 FA Cups in their history and another would be very welcome this season especially.

Gallant Tranmere have done themselves proud but their FA Cup adventure is over.

89'

The million dollar question.

Can Manchester United replicate anything like this in the Premier League?

They've been desperately inconsistent and could really do with a thrashing like this in the top division. Plenty of promise shown by the youngsters tonight but it has to carry on next week.

85'

OFF THE BAR!

Chong rattles the underside of the bar with a belter inside the box. Almost a seventh!

82'

Both sides very much sharing possession right now but neither doing much with it.

CLOSE!

Murphy tries to do a Harry Maguire and goes for goal from distance but it flies just a yard wide. And he has another go moments later but Romero gets down for that one too.

79'

It's well over. What a waste.

76'

United coasting towards the end of this one now. Crowd has even gone a little quiet though no home fans dare head to the exit.

And what's this?

Tranmere have a free-kick just outside the bo. Dangerous.

73'

Ferrier gets a big round of applause as he makes way. He's been brilliant today. Mullin comes on in his place.

68'

United have their first shot of the afternoon that doesn't go into the back of the net!

66'

Tranmere doing themselves proud here. They've not dropped their energy levels and look determined to get a consolation goal.

A few players have certainly done themselves justice of mainstream television.

65'

Maguire makes way for Williams.

Great performance from the captain.

59'

Away fans in full voice and loving this United performance.

57'

GOAL!

Greenwood dispatches! That's six!

The youngster fought for the right to take that pen. Hungry for goals.

Penalty

M. Greenwood

56'

PENALTY TO UNITED!

Chong is taken out by Davies and Greenwood steps up for the pen.

54'

Blackett-Taylor putting himself in the transfer window here with a fine performance, causing the United defence all sorts of trouble when he gets forward.

Unfortunately he has very little support and so any attack usually ends with him.

48'

Chong gambles and almost grabs the sixth as Davies doesn't quite come off his line quick enough to seize a back pass.
