LONDON: Darren Fletcher scored twice and Manchester United easily advanced to the FA Cup quarterfinals with a 4-0 victory over Arsenal on Saturday.

United took an early lead , with Wayne Rooney scoring in the 16th minute and Darren Fletcher doubling the advantage within five minutes.

Facing little resistance from the Gunners, Nani fired in a third goal in the 38th. There was no way back for Arsenal after Emmanuel Eboue was sent off four minutes into the second half.

A trio of changes made no impact and Fletcher headed in his second goal for the sprightly 11-time cup champion in the 74th.
