The Red Devils goalkeeper's special plan suffered a horrible setback with Man United despite the win.

Manchester United comfortably beat Championship side Reading 3-1 just moments ago sending them through to the round of 16 in the FA Cup competition. It was a pleasurable performance that got a worthy celebration at the final whistle.

Unite fans were up on their feet at the final whistle as they gave their players a rosy and well-deserved appreciation. Erik Ten Hag gave a very big smile at the end of the game as he walked on to applaud United fans for their support.

This is the real reason why Manchester United fans are happy

While almost all United players were celebrating the win, David De Gea was less impressed with the results due to the plans he had for the game. Rashford struck first but his goal was chalked off VAR for offside. United soon took the lead in the second half.

A brace from Casemiro in the 55th and 58th minutes of the game sent the home crowd into a celebration frenzy. It didn't take long for another Brazilian, Fred to add another goal for United on the night. The game ended 3-1 with Reading grabbing a late consolation, much to De Gea's disgust.

Why is De Gea furious despite the win?

The Red Devils goalie had a  personal milestone set for this game but was let down when Reading grabbed a consolation goal. According to reports, De Gea is just two clean sheets away from becoming Manchester United record clean sheets holder in history, ahead of club Peter Schmeichel.
