da fazobetai： The two midfielders dominated the lacklustre Eagles as the Red Devils began their Carabao Cup defence in style
da dobrowin： That was more like it from Manchester United. Erik ten Hag earned lots of goodwill by winning the Carabao Cup last season and his side made an emphatic start in the competition with a dominant 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace.
Alejandro Garnacho got United off on the right foot by scoring the opening goal following a sweeping team move although Casemiro was the star of the show, heading in the second goal then setting up the third for Anthony Martial.
Sofyan Amrabat had a brilliant home debut, appearing all over the pitch and playing some wonderful passes, while Mason Mount had a strong return from injury and even Harry Maguire gave a solid performance.
GOAL rates Man United's players from a smiling Old Trafford…
Getty ImagesGoalkeeper & Defence
Andre Onana (7/10):
Had a quiet night but did well to beat away two shots from Jean-Philippe Mateta, using his feet and then his chest.
Diogo Dalot (8/10):
Had a brilliant first half, flying up and down the right wing and also dropping into midfield. Combined well with Facundo Pellistri to set up Garnacho's goal.
Raphael Varane (7/10):
Lead a very solid defence as captain for the night and looked sharp after recovering from injury.
Harry Maguire (7/10):
An accomplished performance, seeing plenty of the ball and comfortably nullifying Mateta and Jordan Ayew. Will do his confidence a world of good.
Sofyan Amrabat (8/10):
An excellent full debut for the Moroccan. Rotated between left-back and midfield and oozed class as he sprayed long passes across the pitch.

Mason Mount (6/10):
An encouraging return after a month out injured. Launched the move for the opening goal then got his first assist for United by teeing up Casemiro. Rested at half-time.
Casemiro (8/10):
After showing signs of recovery against Burnley this was the Casemiro United fans fell in love with last season. Physically dominant and classy.
Hannibal Mejbri (7/10):
Energetic and influential. Helped the team in attack and defence although had to be careful after getting booked in the first half.

Facundo Pellistri (7/10):
Linked up well with Dalot down the right hand side and worked hard defensively.
Anthony Martial (6/10):
Got his first goal of the season which will help his confidence. Important that he took his chance in the Cup as he won't be starting much in the league ahead of Rasmus Hojlund.
Alejandro Garnacho (7/10):
Got the ball rolling with his first goal of the season but crucially showed he can perform well from the start and not just when coming off the bench.
Getty ImagesSubs & Manager
Victor Lindelof (6/10):
Brought on for Mount at half-time to shore up the defence and did just that.
Jonny Evans (6/10):
The hero of Turf Moor got a rousing reception from the home fans when he came on and helped United stay in command.
Dan Gore (6/10):
A bright debut for the 19-year-old, did not look overawed by the occasion at all.
Donny van de Beek (5/10):
Made his first appearance of the season. Is unlikely to get many more but did little wrong.
Rasmus Hojlund (6/10):
When he came on the job was already done and didn't really get involved.
Erik ten Hag (8/10):
Did not mess about with his team selection and used his substitutions early to make sure players for some rest while giving others the minutes they needed.
