There were vibrant displays from Facundo Pellistri and Hannibal Mejbri, and a promising full debut from Sofyan Amrabat.<\/p>\n<p>Mason Mount made a 45-minute comeback and Ten Hag was also able to manage Raphael Varane\u2019s return from injury as he continues to nurse his squad back to full fitness.<\/p>\n<p>It certainly felt as though United have cleared their heads after those defeats to Tottenham, Brighton, Arsenal and Tottenham as they cruised into the fourth round.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/26\/21\/75864727-0-image-a-44_1695760849003.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Alejandro Garnacho opens the scoring for Man United in their 3-0 win over Crystal Palace\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/26\/22\/75865689-12563831-image-a-46_1695762148305.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Casemiro added a second for Manchester United from a Mason Mount corner before the break<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/26\/22\/75865669-12563831-image-a-45_1695762144803.jpg\" height=\"435\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Anthony Martial wrapped up the win with United&#8217;s third goal on a comfortable night\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Saturday\u2019s win at Burnley had eased the early-season pressure on Ten Hag, but the United manager could ill afford another setback to invite more scrutiny of him and his team.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Pressure is part of life at Manchester United, for everyone involved in the club,\u2019 the Dutchman wrote in his programme notes. \u2018But you don&#8217;t wear this crest to have an easy life, you wear it because you are capable of handling the responsibility.\u2019<\/p>\n<h3>MATCH FACTS\u00a0\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span>Manchester United (4-2-3-1):<\/span> Onana, Dalot, Varane (Evans 60), Maguire, Amrabat (Gore 60), Casemiro, Mount (Lindelof 46), Hannibal (Van de Beek 71), Pellistri, Garnacho, Martial (Hojlund 75)<\/p>\n<p>Subs not used: Bayindir, Fernandes, Rashford, Heaton\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Goal-scorers: Garnacho 21, Casemiro 27, Martial 55<\/p>\n<p>Booked: Hannibal\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Crystal Palace (4-2-3-1):<\/span> Henderson (Johnstone 19), Clyne, Holding, Richards, Mitchell, Doucoure (Hughes 60), Riedewald (Ozoh 80), Rak-Sakyi (Geuhi 46), Schlupp (Eze 60), Ayew, Mateta\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Subs not used: Ward, Andersen, Ebiowei, Ola-Adebomi\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Booked: Holding\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag made seven changes from the weekend to Palace\u2019s eight, with many of the players who will contest the Premier League meeting between these two clubs here on Saturday starting on the bench.<\/p>\n<p>It meant a full debut for Amrabat, who looked comfortable playing out of position at left-back until the second half even though he almost hit the ball out of the stadium with the first effort of the game in the seventh minute.<\/p>\n<p>There was also a rare opportunity for Harry Maguire who settled any nerves with an excellent interception to cut out Jeffrey Schlupp\u2019s cross and deny Jean-Phillippe Mateta a certain goal just a minute later.<\/p>\n<p>And Mount marked his return from injury after a five-game absence by helping to set up United\u2019s two goals before half-time.<\/p>\n<p>Both came after Dean Henderson\u2019s debut for Palace following a \u00a320million move from United was cut short inside 19 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Worryingly, it looked as though Henderson may have aggravated his right thigh which required surgery in May when he launched a long ball downfield. He was replaced by another ex-United keeper Sam Johnstone whose first job was to pick the ball out of the net in the 21st minute.<\/p>\n<p>United\u2019s width had caused Palace problems from the start and both their young wingers, Garnacho and Pellistri, were involved in the goal.<\/p>\n<p>Garnacho started the move before Mount\u2019s crossfield pass found Pellistri. He picked out Diogo Dalot\u2019s darting run and the defender pulled the ball back for Garnacho to rifle home from the edge of the six-yard box.<\/p>\n<p>The Argentine has cut a frustrated figure so far this season \u2013 subbed in his opening two games, a late sub in three more, and unused on two occasions \u2013 but hopefully this will be the goal that gets him going.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/26\/22\/75865693-12563831-image-a-48_1695762197235.jpg\" height=\"411\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Harry Maguire was given his first start of the season in defence and played the 90 minutes\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/26\/22\/75865691-12563831-image-a-47_1695762190469.jpg\" height=\"454\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>There was a full debut for summer recruit Sofyan Amrabat who started the game at left-back\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pellistri, meanwhile, stood out here a week after making his Champions League debut in Munich, doing a lot right and working his socks to win back the ball when it went wrong.<\/p>\n<p>He almost got on the scoresheet when Chris Richards made a crucial block, but it only delayed United\u2019s second goal by a few moments in the 27th minute.<\/p>\n<p>The ball went out for a corner and Mount\u2019s delivery found Casemiro who crucially stole a few yards on Schlupp before guiding a header wide of Johnstone. The Brazilian hasn\u2019t had the best start to the season but, remarkably, this was his fourth goal of the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Mount was withdrawn at half-time, allowing Amrabat to move into midfield where the Moroccan immediately looked at home.<\/p>\n<p>It was his blocked cross in the 55th minute that led to United\u2019s third goal. Jairo Riedewald\u2019s scuffed clearance only went as far as Casemiro who delivered to the back post.<\/p>\n<p>Martial had got away from Nathaniel Clyne but there was still plenty to do from a tight angle, and the Frenchman produced a wonderfully controlled finish to guide the ball back across Johnstone.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing missing was a save from Andre Onana as he continues to get over that blunder in Munich, and he produced two from Mateta towards the end of the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/08\/02\/636x90_facebook_ad_sport.png\" width=\"636\" height=\"90\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12563831\/Manchester-United-3-0-Crystal-Palace-Carabao-Cup-holders-cruise-past-Eagles-comfortable-victory-Erik-ten-Hags-men.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United 3-0 Crystal Palace: Erik ten Hag&#8217;s side kick off Carabao Cup defence in style as they return to <span class=\"more-text\">&hellip;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":294088,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
