At dawn on Wednesday (27th), in the 3rd round of the EFL Cup, last season's champions Manchester United, with a substitute lineup, unexpectedly showed more outstanding performance and swept Crystal Palace 3-0 at home, successfully advancing to the round of 16. The central midfielder, Casimiru, scored three goals and added an assist in the match, answering back to the skepticism about his "return to the fold". With Mason Monty back from injury, United's lineup is gradually being reorganized, and two consecutive victories have allowed the team to gradually find its form.
United manager Javier Tannhardt made a big change to his starting lineup for the game, with Mason Monte returning to the starting lineup after a month-long layoff, while Anthony Martial, Canazo, Fagundeo Berlicha, often-benched central defender Harry Magouni and new midfielder Sufn Iwabat were all able to make their debuts, while Rashford and Bonny Fernandes failed to make their appearances.
United broke the deadlock only 21 minutes into the first half when Dalozzi sent in a precise cross from the right, and although the opposing defenders made a slight adjustment, Ganassou took the chance to score. In the following six minutes, Mason Monty took a corner kick and Casimiro leapt high to score his first assist and goal after joining United for £60 million (HK$570 million).
