Two goals from Darren Fletcher and one each from Wayne Rooney and Nani secured their place in the quarter-final.

Arsenal's cause was not helped, however, by Emmanuel Eboue's sending off in the 49th minute.

Both United boss Sir Alex Ferguson and his Arsenal counterpart Arsene Wenger made five changes with vital Champions League matches ahead next week.

But it was United who made a blistering start and it was no surprise they made the breakthrough in the 16th minute following a corner from Nani.

Anderson flicked the ball on and Rooney headed beyond Jens Lehmann for his 11th goal of the season.

Three minutes later United made it 2-0 after good work by Nani on the left. The Portuguese player chipped the ball into the penalty area and Fletcher marked his first start in two months by heading home, although his effort seemed to take took a deflection off William Gallas.

With Arsenal looking lethargic and out of sorts, United made it 3-0 in the 38th minute following a pinpoint Michael Carrick pass from deep.

Nani was alert and skipped goal-side of Justin Hoyte to score with a low drive into the corner.

Arsenal's problems increased in the 49th minute when Eboue was dismissed by referee Alan Wiley after a clumsy challenge left Evra on the floor.
