United through in FA Cup Fifth Round

 

MANCHESTER UNITED are our fourth and final team through to the Quarter-Finals of the FA Cup out of the eight that are still in the competition.

Last night Manchester United won 3-1 away to PRESTON but it was not an easy win for them.

United started the game very sloppy with bad passing and no idea up front on how to score goals.

In the start of the second half, Preston scored a well-deserved goal by Laird in the 47^th minute gave the home team that touch of hope that they could beat United. It was not until they took off Falcao and brought on Young that the game picked up pace for United. Two goals to United followed in the 65^th and 77^th minute before Rooney scored from the penalty in the 88^th minute that United were sure of a place in the next round. United are now on a total of 51 goals and they seem to be on par with their final goals total from last season of 75 goals. Their lowest score with Golden Goals in our 32 Seasons was just 61 goals back in our 1986/87 Season. Preston picked up their 58^th goal of the season.
