Red Devils book fourth-round spot with crushing rout of League One Tykes
Manchester United produced a hugely impressive performance to blow away Barnsley 7-0 and progress through to the Carabao Cup fourth round, with Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Christian Eriksen all scoring twice on a night to remember at Old Trafford.
Antony also got on the scoresheet from the penalty spot as ruthless United eased past the League One promotion hopefuls after Erik ten Hag had made eight changes from the team that beat Southampton 3-0 in the Premier League at the weekend.
The Red Devils now travel to take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday full of confidence after recording back-to-back victories for the first time this season. Tuesday night’s result was their biggest win to date under Ten Hag and largest ever in the League Cup, with a place in the last 16 never in doubt for the six-time winners as they target more Wembley success this term.
