Manchester United transfer news RECAP with Jadon Sancho latest as Carabao Cup draw confirmed

Manchester United kicked off their Carabao Cup defence with a 3-0 win against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on Tuesday night.

Erik ten Hag did what he very rarely did last season and made a whole host of changes for the League Cup outing. That being said, a number of his key players returning from injury were thrown into the XI, so it looked far from a second-string side.

Mount was replaced at half-time, prompting brief concerns the he may have reaggravated his recent injury, but Ten Hag confirmed post-match that his withdrawal was pre-planned.
