England’s football record champions Manchester United easily reached the round of 16 of the national League Cup. Erik ten Hag’s team won confidently against Premier League rivals Crystal Palace 3-0 (2-0) and took another step out of their first low of the season with their second win in a row.
Alejandro Garnacho (21′) and Casemiro (27′) made it 2-0 at half-time with a double strike. After the break, Anthony Martial (55th) increased the score for the Red Devils.
In the league, United is already lagging behind after six matchdays and is nine points behind league leaders and city rivals Manchester City. The Champions League opened with a 3-4 defeat at Bayern Munich. In addition, side events such as the suspension of ex-Dortmunder Jadon Sancho are causing a lot of unrest in the club.
