Manchester United came from behind twice to beat Aston Villa 4-2 in a crazy second half at Old Trafford to progress to the last 16 of the Carabao Cup.
Match Report
All six goals came after the interval with Erik ten Hag's side falling behind twice before Bruno Fernandes' deflected strike put them ahead for the first time and Scott McTominay sealed it. The result goes some way to avenging Villa's 3-1 defeat of United in Unai Emery's first game on Sunday.
After a dismal 45 minutes, the game came to life after the break with Ollie Watkins opening the scoring before Anthony Martial levelled just 19 seconds after the restart. Diogo Dalot's own goal restored Villa's advantage but then Marcus Rashford found another equaliser.
Fernandes, suspended when the teams met at Villa Park at the weekend, turned the game on its head amid a raucous Old Trafford atmosphere and McTominay ended any hope of the comeback.

At this point, Garnacho has staked his name on the first eleven as a starter. Sancho leave a message

It appears to ME that Man U plays freely and better when Ronaldo isn't in the team. I doubt Man U would have won this match had Ronaldo played. Anyway, just my opinion.

Man U without Ronaldo in their attack is like 2008 Pep Barcelona, but with Ronaldo they are like Portsmouth, and Man U without Fernandes is like a vehicle without Engine
