The rather unremarkable answer is that he didn't. The Gospel writers used Micah to create a birthplace for Jesus. Matthew and Luke offer contradictory birth narratives because they want to account for the passage in Micah, but also want Jesus to be from Nazareth, but they have opposite ways of handling this.

This is suggestive of a narrative device, not a historical fact, (or alternatively that they are hearing different versions of the story in their communities).
