Manchester United battered Tranmere Rovers 6-0 to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup, with Mason Greenwood among those on the scoresheet.
Greenwood’s second half penalty – given after Tahith Chong was chopped down by Tranmere goalkeeper Scott Davies – was his 10th goal of the season.
He’s the youngest Manchester United player to score 10 goals for the club since Norman Whiteside in 1984 – some 36 years ago.
Just 13 of his 34 appearances for the club have come from the start of matches, making his 10-goal haul all the more impressive.
It was a rogue set of Manchester United scorers in a one-sided affair at Prenton Park.
Harry Maguire opened the scoring from distance – his first goal for the club – before Diogo Dalot rifled in from the right-hand side of the box.
Jesse Lingard scored just his second goal of the season to put United in total control after only 16 minutes, before a third defender, Phil Jones sent a looping header into the back of the net to make it four.
It was five by half-time after Anthony Martial’s bent strike from distance before Greenwood made it six before the hour mark.
United hadn’t scored six in a game since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure and it was all in all an excellent day for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.
