Manchester United cruised to a 2-0 victory against Wigan Athletic in the third round of the FA Cup.

Bruno Fernandes’ penalty shot in the second half and Diogo Dalot’s magnificent looping strike sealed the victory for United.

Wigan only had a 33% ball possession rate compared to the Red Devils’ 67%.

Out of their 33 attempts at goal, United was able to obtain 14 shots on goal. Conversely, Wigan managed nine shots, but only two of those caused concern for Andre Onana.

Ten Hag’s men completed 603 passes with a 90% completion percentage.

With 304 passes and an 80% pass accuracy, the Latics were formidable.

Dalot is a player who deserves a great deal of credit, even though Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo will naturally receive the majority of the recognition for their outstanding efforts in the middle of the park and on the wing, respectively.

Apart from his crucial first goal, the defender did a fantastic job filling in for Luke Shaw at left-back.

Dalot won all of the tackles he attempted while he was on the field. Additionally, he was able to complete passes with a 96% accuracy rate while on the field.

The Portugal international made 69 ball touches during his career.

Of the 50 passes he attempted to locate his teammates with, he completed 48 with success. Dalot delved into five ground duels and won four.

The 24-year-old started and finished all three of his dribbles.

He also made two crucial passes.

Dalot scored his second goal of the season against Shaun Maloney’s team, following his outstanding goalscorer at Bramall Lane when United defeated Sheffield United.

He will surely benefit greatly from it in the lead-up to United’s match against Tottenham Hotspur this weekend.
