Saturday Recap

Reading's Dutch manager Jaap Stam (L) is greeted by Manchester United's Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho (R) as he arrives for the English FA Cup third round football match between Manchester United and Reading at Old Trafford in Manchester, north west En

Jose Mourinho looked on with satisfaction as his United team waltzed past Championship opposition to record a 4-0 win, booking their place in the fourth round.

United have hit a purple patch in their performance output, and the Royals were severely outclassed for most of the game.

Rooney broke the deadlock after just seven minutes, with the hosts' forward line streaming upfield with menace.

The skipper grabbed his 249th United goal to equal Charlton's 44-year-old record, with the Theatre of Dreams rising to its feet to applaud the Merseyside-born attacker. 

Presenter Jake Humphrey congratulated Rooney, as BT Sport shared the player's moment:

United appeared dangerous throughout the first half as they displayed the confidence of team who have found their purpose and mojo.

Anthony Martial doubled the lead after 15 minutes, and it was left to Marcus Rashford to grab a brace in the second half to finish off Jaap Stam's side.

OptaJoe highlighted Rooney's tremendous achievement as he wrote himself a line in United history:

Bournemouth paid the ultimate price as they rotated their options, and they were soundly thrashed 3-0 by a rampant Millwall.

Steve Morison opened the scoring for the hosts after missing a fine opportunity, and Shaun Cummings' close-range finish gave the Lions a deserved second-half lead.

Shane Ferguson's late strike compounded Eddie Howe's misery after the Cherries boss made 11 changes to his team following their 3-3 Premier League draw against Arsenal on Tuesday.

Derby are through at the expense of West Brom, as the Rams defeated the Baggies 2-1 away from home.

Matt Phillips' curling effort had given WBA the lead in the first half, but efforts from Darren Bent and Tom Ince overturned the result in the second half.

Wolves upset Stoke on their travels in the cup, claiming a hard-fought 2-0 win away from home.

Helder Costa's piercing first-half shot and Matt Doherty's ambitious free-kick gave Wolves the unlikely 2-0 victory against a labouring Potters outfit.
