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."

United Review: Reds bounce back from Liverpool humiliation

 Manchester United 4 - 1 Real Betis Manchester United beat Real Betis 4-1 in the first leg of the Europa League Round-of-16 clash. Marcus Rashford opened the scoring for the Reds in the sixth minute, with a rifling strike that emphatically flew past Claudio Bravo. Despite an excellent start by United, our goal would be cancelled out just after the half-hour mark due to the on-loan Ayoze Perez firing across David De Gea into the bottom corner.  Erik's reds prove too strong Antony restored United's lead with a trademark effort that curled beyond a stranded Bravo, who could only watch as it hit the top corner. Minutes later, Bruno Fernandes got in on the act from Luke Shaw's corner. Our no.8 wasn't picked up as he wandered into the area to make it 3-1 on the night.  The final goal fell to Wout Weghorst, scoring his first in front of the Old Trafford faithful. Second-half substitute Facundo Pellistri was at the heart of the move, originally teeing up Scott McTominay whose s
