On Monday, January 8, Manchester United traveled to face Wigan in the context of the fifth round of the FA Cup.

This activity resulted in a goal, with Diogo Dalot breaking the deadlock in the 22nd minute. By the end of the first half, Manchester United created several opportunities but failed to capitalize on them.
