In the 3rd round of the EFL Cup in the early hours of Wednesday morning (27th), last year's champions, Manchester United, used their side kicks to better effect, defeating Crystal Palace 3-0 at home and advancing to the round of 16. The Red Devils midfielder Casimiru scored 1 goal and contributed 1 assist in the match to counter the criticism of his "return to the pond". With Mason Monty back from injury, Man Utd are getting more and more complete and have started to recover with 2 consecutive wins.
Man Utd's manager Tannhäuser has made a number of rotations in the starting lineup for this match. Mason Mount, who has been injured for nearly a month and a half, is back in the starting lineup, while Anthony Madill, Garnacho, Fagan du Plessis, long-serving stalwart Harry Mugueni and new midfielder Sufunyan Rabat are all in the starting lineup, while Rashford and Ponu Fernandes are out of the starting lineup.
United opened the scoring in the 21st minute of the first half when Dalozzi's cross from the right was headed in by Canazo even though the man in the middle of the field changed direction slightly, and six minutes later, a corner kick was headed in by Casimiru to give the £60 million (HK$570 million) player his first goal since joining United from Chelsea in the summer.
