Man Utd goalscorers Maguire and Lingard happy seeing off Tranmere

Manchester United goalscorers Harry Maguire and Jesse Lingard were delighted with their 6-0 FA Cup win at Tranmere Rovers.

Maguire's effort marked his first for the club.

“It's been a long time coming," Maguire told BT Sport. “I've had a lot of chances this year and I haven't been able to find the back of the net.

“It's great to put one in, help the team and get into the next round."

Lingard echoed those sentiments, saying: “It's always great to score a goal and help the team. A lot of people contributed today and it was a well-rounded performance from everyone.

“We stuck at it and we knew it was going to be tough. These are always difficult places to come but we're into the next round."

“The goal always helps, especially to settle the crowd down.

“Once we got one we wanted two and three and we carried on with that."
