22:41 GMT - Wigan boss Shaun Maloney believes his players will have benefitted from the experience of playing Man Utd in tonight's tie.
Speaking to ITV, he said: "I’m proud of my players. It was a difficult match. When you play an opponent that has that much talent in the final third, it’s very hard to press.
"There were moments early (on), and in these games you have to take those chances - but in fairness Manchester United had a lot of chances as well. A difficult match but a brilliant experience for our players."
