Manchester United cruised into the League Cup fourth round with a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace.
The game quickly settled into a pattern, with the hosts dominating possession and Crystal Palace sitting deep and looking to frustrate the hosts.
Just six minutes later and United had doubled their advantage. Mason Mount fired in an outswinging corner which Casemiro was able to meet, diverting his header into the corner past Sam Johnstone.
It was a familiar slow start for Crystal Palace in the first half, a side who came into this match having scored all 10 of their goals this season in the second half of matches
A much-changed Manchester United secured their place in the fourth round of the League Cup with a 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on Tuesday. First-half goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Casemiro helped Erik ten Hag’s side on their way into the last 16 of the competition they won last season, before Anthony Martial added a third after the restart.
From minute one they dominated proceedings, moving the ball well and imposing themselves on the match due to the speed and efficiency in which they operated. Another positive for United came in the form of Sofyan Amrabat who put in a very impressive performance in his first start for the club.
