Ghana defender Andy Yiadom starred for Reading in their loss against Manchester United at Old Trafford in the FA Cup.

Yiadom was a thorn in the flesh of Manchester United this afternoon but unfortunately, did not complete his day with a goal as United beat Reading 2-0 to advance to the next stage of the competition.

Manchester United won their fifth straight game under caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as they beat Reading in the FA Cup - but there was VAR confusion in the first half.

Fred's goal was ruled offside but United were awarded a penalty for a foul on Juan Mata in the build-up.

The Spaniard scored from the spot before Romelu Lukaku doubled their lead of the home side.

The 26-year-old Ghanaian defender came close to reducing the deficit with a well struck shot in the 45th minute but Romero parried the ball away as the host held firm to win the game after full time.
