It's advantage Manchester United as the Red Devils secured a 2-0 win over Hull City in the EFL Cup semi-final first leg at Old Trafford.

Hull may feel a little bit aggrieved as there was a hint of offside during United's opener. Juan Mata gave the home side the lead 11 minutes into the second half, finishing from close range after Henrikh Mkhitaryan's header across the face of the goal. https://twitter.com/amadoit__/status/818933092492644353 Footage during coverage of the match showed the Spaniard was in an offside position by a matter of inches. Marouane Fellaini put the result beyond doubt with a header three minutes from full-time but it was Paul Pogba's pass at the beginning of the second half which had United fans purring. Pogba picked up the ball from inside his own half and sent a sublime diagonal through ball into the path of Wayne Rooney. Rooney failed to hit the target, however, spurning a perfect opportunity for to finally surpass Sir Bobby Charlton's record of 249 goals for the club. Unfortunately for the England forward it wasn't meant to be, but United fans remained in awe of the pass from Pogba. https://twitter.com/ManUtdVines/status/818930040620666884 Twitter, as you would imagine, exploded as a result. https://twitter.com/1woodford/status/818932793812090883 https://twitter.com/mightYdre_/status/818932866885283841 https://twitter.com/CaptainMarvel_7/status/818928304220676096 United will look to secure their passage to the final when they play Hull in the second leg on January 26 at the KCOM Stadium.
