Manchester United have booked their place in round four of the Carabao Cup, after a thoroughly entertaining 4-2 victory over Aston Villa at Old Trafford.
Alejandro Garnacho, the 18-year-old, substitute produced an outstanding half-hour cameo to help United beat Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup and book a home fourth-round tie with Burnley next month.
Villa led twice through Ollie Watkins and a Diogo Dalot own goal in a thrilling second half that followed a desperate first.
But they had no answer to Garnacho’s direct running as the Argentina wide-man became the youngest United player to claim two assists in a game as he created goals for Bruno Fernandes and then Scott McTominay, with a brilliant long pass into the heart of the visitors’ box.
Erik ten Hag’s verdict
They play with a high line, so pass the ball behind them. I think we were quite successful with that in the second half. The problem in the first half was that we had too many touches and missed the moment to pass the ball in behind; that’s why we brought Christian Eriksen on.

I’m really happy with the resilience. That’s what we need, every game. That’s why I was so mad with the performance on Sunday, because we didn’t fight, we were sloppy, especially in the defensive discipline, and that cannot happen with a United.
