Manchester United won a ticket to the next round of the FA Cup thanks to goals scored by Bruno Fernandes and Marcel Sabitzer. The Austrian spoke to the press after the match and talked about his goal. "I was overwhelmed," he said.

Manchester United took advantage as two goals from Bruno Fernandes and Marcel Sabitzer's first for the club kept Erik ten Hag's men on course for a treble of cup competitions.

Luke Shaw crossed for Sabitzer to flick home. Fernandes inflicted the final blow as he blasted home in the sixth minute of added time to take United to Wembley on 22nd April.

The Austrian midfielder spoke about his first goal for Ten Hag's side after the match: "I was overwhelmed. I was looking for it: scoring the first at Old Trafford in front of these amazing fans. And that important one, at 2-1 it was a massive one.

"I am very happy at the moment. I couldn’t reach it with the right foot, so I was just trying to hit it with the left foot and it worked out. It's massive win. We wanted to go back to Wembley, we did it. 1-0 down was tough, but we come back and it was a good one," said Sabitzer.
