It was a game in which United dominated for the entirety and yet despite this, Peterborough’s defence proved difficult to get beyond.
This meant it was just one goal that won the game for Darren Fletcher’s side, with JJ Gabriel scoring the winner, which was an excellent finish.
Gabriel’s goal saw him become United’s youngest-ever goalscorer in the competition.
With this, United head into the next round against either Cambridge or Derby. You can follow the game as it happened below.
