Casemiro scored one goal and set up another as Carabao Cup holders Manchester United eased into the fourth round with a 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.

Erik ten Hag named a much-changed team from Saturday's Premier League win over Burnley but United dominated throughout, with Alejandro Garnacho scoring the first in the 21st minute before Casemiro headed in a corner from the returning Mason Mount six minutes later.

Casemiro then turned provider for the third 10 minutes after half-time when Anthony Martial classily dispatched his superb cross as the hosts raised spirits at Old Trafford following their difficult start to the campaign.

Crystal Palace, who also made extensive changes, only began to threaten following the second-half introduction of Eberechi Eze but by then it was too late, the result ensuring back-to-back wins for United as they aim to get their season back on track.

Erik ten Hag told Sky Sports: "It's a good night, we played quite well, dominated the game. That's what we're looking for.

"The frustration and disappointment means the mood was dropping, but the spirit and togetherness was there, and is there.

"We made a step forward with the way we defended at Burnley and today we made another step on the ball.

"There is a lot to come but we are moving forward."

On Ambrabat's performance, Ten Hag added: "He is a player that gives to the team wherever the team needs him. He gives contributions to the team in his quality, also his energy and dynamic."

The Manchester United boss also praised Harry Maguire's "very solid" performance and confirmed the decision to withdraw Mount at half-time was planned.

"He is returning from an injury and we are building him up," he said of the former Chelsea player. "When you go too quickly, you get a drop and we want to avoid that. I think his performance was very good."

On Jadon Sancho, who was again absent from the squad as his stand-off with the manager continues, Ten Hag said: "I don't talk about players who are not available. It's up to him."

Sofyan Amrabat told Sky Sports: "It's a perfect night. We played well and most importantly won 3-0. Since I was a child I worked for this, I worked very hard my whole life. It's amazing to play here, it's fantastic.

"I told the manager play me where you need me, goalkeeper, anywhere. Today [Tuesday] it was left back but I had a free role to play in midfield. I like to touch and have the ball. Of course I'm not a left-back who plays on the line so I tried to give the team an extra option.
