Languishing in 10th place in the Premier League after two defeats in their first four games, United were never in danger of an upset against their third-tier opponents at Old Trafford. Rashford, Antony and Alejandro Garnacho all netted before half-time to effectively seal United’s second successive victory after Saturday’s Premier League win at Southampton.
Rashford and Garnacho each scored again after the interval and Christian Eriksen’s double wrapped up United’s biggest win since boss Erik ten Hag arrived from Ajax in 2022. “It is the first time this team is playing together. Once we found our patterns we scored some great goals,” Ten Hag said.
