Manchester United cruised into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup with the simplest of 3-0 victories over Crystal Palace on Tuesday. Casemiro and Alejandro Garnacho both netted midway through the first half, before Anthony Martial's strike early in the second half eliminated any doubt about a game which was truly one-sided from start to finish. The true test for United, however, will come on Saturday as these two sides prepare to do battle in Premier League action.
Here are the three best players from the game
Casemiro
The Brazilian midfielder hasn't been at his best this season but his attacking contributions from midfield have never been in question. A great goal and assist. He also looked better in deeper areas but still room to improve and get back to his levels from last season. Amrabat can help that.
Sofyan Amrabat
The deadline-day signing showed incredibly promising signs of what he's about to bring to the team. Played out of his usual position on his debut but covered everywhere and demonstrated his scintillating passing ability.
Mason Mount
Created four goalscoring chances on his return from injury and United scored two of them. Substituted at half-time in what was his best performance for some time.
