Player Ratings: Casemiro's Stellar Performance Leads Man Utd to Easy Carabao Cup Win Against Crystal Palace

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.

Sofyan Amrabat, making his full debut as an emergency left-back, saw his name up in lights early on when the ball fell to him on the edge of the box, but there would be no 20-yard screamer as the loanee blazed his effort well over the bar.

The opening goal came around the 20-minute mark. Some smart work down the right saw Diogo Dalot drill the ball across the box and Garnacho did well to steer into the back of the Palace net.

Dalot stung Sam Johnstone's gloves soon after, before an excellent challenge from Chris Richards was needed to deny Facundo Pellistri what looked like a certain goal. Unfortunately for Palace, the ensuing corner was comfortably headed home by Casemiro 27 minutes in.

Palace's response was poor as United strolled through what remained of the first half, knocking on the door for a third without finding a way through.

The Eagles threatened to show a little more after the break but United quickly extinguished any hopes of a comeback as Casemiro's deep cross was volleyed home by Martial.

Jean-Philippe Mateta saw a fierce strike well saved by Andre Onana midway through the second half but United never looked under any real threat after the interval and instead cruised through into the fourth round.
