West Ham to face Man City in the next round
United made 11 changes and despite having a decent team on paper, the side struggled to expose the hollowness.
Lanzini's goal was due to West Ham's flying start as Ryan Fredericks eased between a disappointing Jadon Sancho and Alex Telles to offer a low cross back to Lanzini, who finished into the bottom corner.
United had their moments, but were the second best outfit.
