This was indeed a very significant result of the season midway through what has been a very tough campaign notably in the English Premier League for Manchester United. To progress to the last 8 of the Carabao Cup is success which injects fresh impetus into all associated with the club who desperately want to see MU win silverware this season. What's more the absence of Erik ten Hag seems to have no negative effect as far as the unity of the team is concerned as they put in a solid shift here and perhaps more importantly one of the very greatest qualities that they possess as players.

The standout performances were by Fernandes, Casemiro, and Garnacho, who truly underlined their team’s goal contributions to prove that there is quality in depth to the squad. MU's focus will next turn to... because on November 10, they take on Leicester again in the Premier League. The big question: can MU do it again? If they can replicate this kind of form into the league, then, of course, finding a more consistent rhythm will not be something that is impossible for them in the near future.
