Manchester United player ratings vs Crystal Palace as Mason Mount and Casemiro set the Palace on fire
Man United beat Crystal Palace 3-0 in the third round of the Carabao Cup and this is how the players performed at Old Trafford.
Manchester United started their Carabao Cup defense perfectly with a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.
Goals from Alejandro Garnacho, Casemiro and Anthony Martial secured United a place in the fourth round of the competition.
Manchester Evening News editor Samuel Luckhurst was in the press box covering the match and here are his notes on a night where a number of players shined.
He could have played in his slippers to secure one of the easiest clean sheets of his career until he was saved cautiously in the 67th minute. 7
Diogo Dalot
His best performance for United this year. Made a great run and inviting cross for Alejandro Garnacho to make it 1-0. 8
Harry Maguire
Made a vital interception to leave the game scoreless on the only occasion Palace threatened all night. An exciting evening for the former captain. 7
Raphael Varane
Lead United and spend an hour against a harmless Crystal Palace team. A sterner test awaits them on Saturday. 7
Sofiane Amrabat
A worthy left-back – where he played several times under Erik ten Hag – and he joins the midfield to complement the attacks. 7

Jadon Sancho deactivates his Instagram account amid a falling out with Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.
Casemiro
A force in midfield with Mason Mount and then Amrabat, he scored one goal and assisted another in a game where many would have given him a rest. 8
Mount Mason
Created four scoring chances on his return from injury and United scored twice. Substituted at half-time in his best performance for a while. 8
Facundo Pellistri
He worked tirelessly all night even though his ability on the ball was not very convincing. However, he really excelled when he started for United. 6
Hannibal Mejbri
Received some words of encouragement from Ten Hag as he struggled to influence ball handling. He was still acquitted with dignity. 6
Alexandre Garnacho
Break the clinical deadlock by reading Diogo Dalot’s retreat. A rich evening as he played the whole time. 7
Antoine Martial
He ended his incognito with a superb volley that killed the game before time ran out. He must score in his first game of the season to make this a positive evening on a personal level. 7

Victor Lindelof
Rarely gets angry with the left back. 6
Johnny Evans
Almost still marked. 6
Dan Gore
He looked comfortable in his debut. 7
Donny van de Beek
A rare occurrence. 6
Rasmus Hojlund
I’m late. 6
Manager
In a reasonable rotation and the absence of Christian Eriksen, the decision to bring on Casemiro is especially important. Like playing Mount in midfield. 8
