    Manchester United 3-0 Colchester

    Manchester United

    Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic speaking to Sky Sports: "As you saw it was a hard game for us. I think in the first half we played much better but in the second half we scored three goals, which is strange.

    "In the first half we were in complete control in the second half they had one or two counter attacks which were dangerous but then we could also take advantage of the space.

    "I’m more happy with the first half but in football you never know. I’m happy we are through and hope we can reach another final to win a trophy."

    Oxford United manager Karl Robinson speaking to Sky Sports: "I was frustrated. I didn't expect to say that. I thought we were disciplined, took them on in a game they are best at and we were brave in the press for a team so young.

    "I am really pleased with the players but my last thought tonight will be 'what could have been.' We now move on to a big game this weekend though.

    "We were lacking good finishing, that is it. I don't think the goalkeeper made good saves - most of them were at him. I don't think we quite believed those chances would drop to us.

    "They have scored two goals on the break but I hope all the fans can wake up tomorrow and say they enjoyed watching Oxford United last night. It will be something that I will never forget."

    Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola speaking to Sky Sports: "We play against a top side so congratulations for the team, young players and the victory"

    "Everything [pleased me], a lot of games, we now have six or seven in 18-19 days which is tough and the competition itself now is tough, there are quality teams in the semi-finals."

    On Oxford's 18 shots: "That means they are good. We suffered a lot in the second half. At 2-1 they play long balls with throw-ins, corners and we struggled but it's okay, we knew before we came here."

    On Raheem Sterling scoring again: "It doesn't matter who scores, happy for him with a few goals, he likes to play, is fit all the time, good for him."
