Manchester United vs. Crystal Palace EFL Cup Third Round Clash...


Immediately after the 1-0 win over Burnley, United headed into the EFL Cup aiming to defend the trophy they won last season.

Erik Ten Hag made significant changes to the team that beat Burnley at the weekend; Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes were the most important missing players.

Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane returned to defense, while Sofyan Amrabat signed on loan for the summer and started alongside Casemiro in midfield.

While he trusted coach Anthony Martial in attack, Hannibal Mejbri, Mason Mount, and Alejandro Garnacho supported the Frenchman behind him.

United took a 1-0 lead in the 20th minute when Diogo Dalot found Garnacho with a brilliant vision. Garnacho's shot found the back of the net and went past the Palace defender on the goal line.

Casemiro, who performed excellently in the first half, scored a well-deserved header from Mason Mount's corner, making the score 2-0.

As the BBC reports, ten minutes after the restart, Anthony Martial appeared behind left-back Nathaniel Clyne to tackle Casemiro's ball and put the result beyond doubt.

Goals aside, United looked threatening going forward and the team had confidence in the way they moved the ball.

The Eagles couldn't keep up because almost every player seemed determined to play a perfect game, and the fans noticed.

In a video shared on social media, Amrabat was interviewed about the game.
