Manchester United advanced to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup with a 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace.

Alejandro Garnacho, Casemiro, and Anthony Martial scored for United, and that was enough for them to win.

While Palace held the ball for 31% of the game, the Red Devils had 69%.

Overall, Erik ten Hag’s squad managed 14 shots, with 7 on target. While the Eagles had four attempts, only two were dangerous to Andre Onana.

With a 90% completion rate, United completed 796 passes.

Over the course of 358 passes, Palace completed 81% of them successfully.

Sofyan Amrabat, on loan from Fiorentina, was the focus of much attention as the match approached because it would be his first game at Old Trafford.

Due to the absence of Sergio Reguilon, he started the game at left back, but he was later replaced by Victor Lindelof and moved to midfield.

During his 60 minutes on the field before being replaced by Dan Gore, Amrabat won every single tackle he attempted.

He completed 78 of 81 pass attempts (96% success rate), which is an impressive statistic.

Six times he attempted a long shot. On five occasions, he triumphed because his shots were spot-on.

The Moroccan played with the ball 91 times.

Amrabat commanded the defense from the backline and the midfield with absolute authority.

The 27-year-old man was successful in five out of six fights he engaged in. United had 14 attempts on goal, with Amrabat responsible for one.

 

He revitalized United and gave their fans a taste of what they’d been missing.
