United review: The reds progress in the EFL Cup

 Manchester United 4 - 2 Aston Villa

The Red Devils progress in the EFL Cup and face Burnley in the next round.

Despite leading twice, Villa had no answer to Alejandro Garnacho's direct running as the Argentina winger became the youngest United player to claim two assists in a game as he created goals for Bruno Fernandes and then Scott McTominay, with a brilliant long pass into the heart of the visitors box

While the highlights of a tepid opening period were a needless yellow card for a clumsy tackle by Harry Maguire on Ollie Watkins and two speculative set-pieces by Douglas Luiz and Fernandes, the action after the break was electric.

It took Villa just three minutes to take the lead as Watkins finished superbly past Martin Dubravka after being sent clear by Jacob Ramsey.

The smoke from a flare set off in celebration of Villa's opener had not even begun to clear by the time Fernandes crossed for Anthony Martial to equalise a minute later.

When Dalot turned Leon Bailey's header into his own net, new Villa boss Unai Emery must have thought he was going to start his reign with successive victories.

However, those goals from Rashford (67'minutes), Bruno Fernandes (78'minutes), McTominay (90'+1minutes) saw United home and into the next round. Is there a trip to Wembley in Manchester United's future?

Reaction from across the web

On the official highlights video, one Manchester United fan said: "What a fantastic goal by Rashford and double assist by Garnacho."

Great recovery from United

United recovered well from that awful performance at Villa Park on Sunday. We said: "A stunning start to Unai Emery's reign at Aston Villa after an awful performance by Manchester United."
