MAN UTD 3-0 CRYSTAL PALACE: Erik ten Hag and his Manchester United side are into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup thanks to goals from Alejandro Garnacho, Casemiro and Anthony Martial
Manchester United eased into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup with a comfortable 3-0 victory over a meek Crystal Palace.
Alejandro Garnacho, Casemiro and Anthony Martial all scored within the first hour to put the contest to bed, allowing Erik ten Hag to further shuffle his pack after making seven changes from their Saturday’s scrappy 1-0 win away to Burnley. United were dominant from the off, easily imposing themselves on Palace, who’ll make exactly the same journey this weekend in the Premier League.
Here are six talking points from the Carabao Cup clash at Old Trafford.
When it was announced in July that Harry Maguire would no longer be Manchester United’s club captain, barely anyone was surprised. Finding himself as the fifth-choice centre-back, Erik ten Hag needed to officially give the responsibility to Bruno Fernandes, commonly the skipper last season.
