Man United 3:0 Crystal Palace: Fans Make Same Observation About Team in The Absence of Rashford

• Manchester United cruised to a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup third round
• Erik Ten Hag made several changes to his side, as Sofyan Amrabat made his first start for the club
• United fans on social media made an uncanny observation about the team after the victory

Manchester United fans delivered a brutal verdict on two of their key players after the comprehensive victory over Crystal Palace on Tuesday, September 26.

Straight from a 1-0 win over Burnley, United were in EFL Cup action as they sought to defend a trophy they won last season.

Erik ten Hag made considerable changes to the team that beat Burnley over the weekend, with Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes the most notable absentees.

Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane made a return at the heart of the defence, while summer loan signing Sofyan Amrabat started with Casemiro in midfield.

In attack, the gaffer trusted Anthony Martial up front as Hannibal Mejbri, Mason Mount and Alejandro Garnacho supported just behind the Frenchman.

United were 1-0 up after 20 minutes as Diogo Dalot showed great vision to find Garnacho, whose shot found the back of the net through a Palace defender on the goal line.

Casemiro, who had been excellent throughout the first half, deservedly got a goal with a glancing header from Mason Mount’s corner to make it 2-0.

As reported on BBC, ten minutes after the restart Anthony Martial ghosted in behind left-back Nathaniel Clyne to pounce on an overhead ball from Casemiro to put the result beyond doubt.

Goals aside, United looked menacing going forward, and there was a hint of confidence within the team in the way they were moving the ball around.

The Eagles simply could not keep up, as practically all the players appeared determined to have a flawless game, and fans picked up on it.

On social media, cheeky fans concluded that the comprehensive result was because of the absence of some of the regulars in the team.

@immwk joked:

"Football without Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford. My goodness. Such a beautiful sport."

I know I’m going to get some stick for this but no Rashford and Bruno and we look much much better.

@markgoldbridge said:

"Rashford and Bruno rested. Can't complain about that. Ten Hag finally seeing rotation as essential."

@frankbakama said:

"Much better with out Bruno and Rashford.. Balanced Midfield when Amrabat Switched."💪

@MuftauAdewale3 said:

"Rashford should learn from this match going forward."

Sancho to Roma?

Sports Brief also reported on the interesting rumour linking Jadon Sancho to AS Roma.

As of Tuesday, September 26, there appears to be no end in sight to Sancho’s woes and a solution to his stand-off with manager Erik ten Hag is not forthcoming.
