Two stunning second half strikes from Ander Herrera and Angel Di Maria proved to be enough Manchester United to see off the threat of Yeovil Town in the FA Cup third round.
Over 9,000 poured into Huish Park to watch the Glovers had match the Premiership opponents for a long period in which Yeovil had a chance to take the lead on 55 minutes. Striker Kieffer Moore connected with a cross from Sam Foley, but he could only muster a weak shot that he fired straight into the arms of United keeper David De Gea.
Herrera, who arrived at Old Trafford in the summer from Athletic Bilbao, gave the Red Devils on 64 minutes with a dipping shot from the edge of the penalty area before club record signing Di Maria, a second half substitute, ended the tie as a contest with a 90th minute strike.
This ensured that Louis Van Gaal's first ever FA Cup tie ended in victory for the visitors and there is every chance that the Cup could provide the Dutchman with his first silverware of his Old Trafford tenure; it is the only knock out competition that United are still involved in owing to the absence from European football.
