After Sunday’s FA Cup win over Liverpool, the Reds’ kids were on song in a competition in which they have enjoyed little success since defeating Middlesbrough in the 2003 final.
United may have claimed the prize of a fourth-round trip to West Ham United on Wednesday week, but it could have been different had Pompey made the most of two early chances at Moss Lane.
The Reds slowly took control and once Paul Pogba had lashed home the opener from 25 yards in the 29th minute their passage to next round looked assured.
Pompey keeper Tom Fry helped Larnell Cole’s corner into the net for United’s second in the 59th minute and William Keane added the third two minutes later. Ryan Williams grabbed two late Pompey goals.
UNITED: Johnstone, M Keane (Lingard 76), Blackett, Thorpe, Fornasier (Massacci 76), Tunnicliffe, Cole (Fryers 76), Pogba, Cofie, W Keane, van Velzen. Subs: Jacob (Gk), Hendrie
