Slipping as he fired off a shot, the visiting centre-forward saw his effort curl wide of the keeper and rebound back off a post.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3a3a; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">Louis van Gaal's side were slow into their stride with Marouane Fellaini deployed up front alongside Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney stationed on the right side of a diamond. Rooney was heavily involved from out wide as his header deflected off Greg Taylor to go through to Chris Dunn before the Cambridge goalkeeper was properly worked for the first time on 18 minutes by the skipper's low drive.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3a3a; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">Seven minutes later, a neat move unhinged the Cambridge defence with Paddy McNair, excellent at right-back, and Mata ferrying the ball wide to Angel Di Maria with crisp passes. The Reds' record buy hung the ball up to the far post where Fellaini, on cue, nodded into the six-yard box for Mata to steer in off the underside of the bar.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3a3a; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">A change of pace by Di Maria carved out a volleyed chance for McNair, only for Cameron McGeehan to block, but a second goal arrived when a pinpoint corner by Di Maria found Fellaini in space. The Belgian controlled before shooting, with van Persie picking up the loose ball and intelligently scooping<span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">it to Rojo with his left foot. The South American, enjoying getting forward throughout his 81 minutes from left-back, headed home his first goal for the club.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3a3a; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">Di Maria continued to be a thorn in the visitors' side as he lashed a venomous strike over the bar from a Mata lay-off and teed up a first-time volley on the full by Rooney during a breakaway raid, with the shot bouncing off the turf and going well wide.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3a3a; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">Cambridge did create a half-chance through Ryan Donaldson but the Reds were otherwise in total control heading into the break. Van Persie led the charge in the second half but was out of luck with a number of efforts. Two shots were saved by Dunn, a pair of headers were misdirected and he was unable to convert the rebound after Rooney's stinging drive was pushed out by the keeper.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3a3a; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">Wilson replaced the Dutchman on 66 minutes and Di Maria was also withdrawn after a rasping drive brought a flying save out of Dunn. Ander Herrera came on for the Argentinian and he collected a loose ball to feed the ball through to Wilson. The youngster took aim and flashed a left-footed drive past Dunn to put the result beyond any doubt.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3a3a; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">Rooney almost added a fourth goal when bending a shot just wide before Ashley Young made his comeback after a hamstring injury in place of Rojo. Dunn clutched another decent attempt by Rooney and McGeehan spurned an injury-time opening but there was no further addition to the scoreline as the hosts ensured safe progress in a competition the club is determined to win.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #3a3a3a; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;">Manutd.com</div>
