Manchester United travelled to Derby County on Friday evening in the fourth round of the FA Cup knowing that defeat would place more pressure on the head of under-fire boss Louis van Gaal.
The Red Devils took the lead in the 16th minute when Wayne Rooney bent one into the top corner, but George Thorne levelled for the home side before the interval.
Man United regained the lead in the 65th minute when Daley Blind converted a Jesse Lingard cross, however, before Juan Mata made it 3-1 to the visitors late on.

DERBY: Carson; Christie, Keogh, Shackell, Warnock; Johnson, Butterfield, Thorne; Ince, Martin, Blackman

Marginally offside but a sparkling finish from @WayneRooney nevertheless!
