It may not seem like it, but Manchester United are learning from their mistakes.

The Premier League club proved too much for Shrewsbury Town to handle on Monday night as they advanced to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup thanks to a comfortable 3-0 win. Things didn't go too smoothly during the week, however, when United faced off against cup minnows of a different kind as they fell to a 2-1 defeat against Danish side FC Midtjylland in the Europa League. But United boss Louis van Gaal was more than happy to show how much his team had learned from the defeat, putting Juan Mata's free-kick, the second goal of the night, down to a tactic he had taken from the Danes. https://youtu.be/f6Kd6e0Upek
