Manchester United blew past Championship side Durham on Sunday with a 5-0 win to progress into the Vitality Women's FA Cup quarter finals.

Albeit being a slow start during the first half, the second half made up for the lack of action in the first 45. Vilde Boe Risa finally unlocked the Wildcats just before half-time with a faultless free kick that soared right into the top corner.

With the upper hand, United went on to punish the visitors throughout the second half as Leah Galton, Hannah Blundell, Alessia Russo and Nikita Parris all hit the target.

Messages ahead of games are Manager Marc Skinner's forte, and today he revealed the conversations he had with the players ahead of kick-off: “Before the game, I wanted them to think about what it feels like when they’re at their happiest.
