A Historic Night for Manchester United:-
Well it’s a Once in a generation sort of a night that barley need here York City’s famous win here 29 years ago now the last time Manchester United lost a League Cup tie here at Old Trafford to third tier opponents Eric tenh har who has had a very healthy relationship with the cups in his two seasons in charge here at Old travel can ill afford a set back that was the challenge of someone who’s not altogether comfortable with the job .
Manchester United’s Early Pressure:-
He’s been asked to do early on giving away a free kick now a couple of attacks gone down that side just getting sucked into it cot always going to get there first compact defensive line from Manchester United strong either side of that penalty area and that’s a good ball in all the way through it comes content to settle for the corner rashford got a touch a flick on at the near post which caused a little bit of bother Bo got a clearing header on it they found gacho here advc they deal with him is going to be absolutely key the Jain backs off Haron .
Rashford’s Opening Goal:-
lets him run rashford collects and he wasn’t quite on the same wavelength rashford Beyond O’Keefe rashford the bounc off one and two and it was Roberts who finally got it behind yeah lovely feet from Marcus rashford it’s amazing what a goal can do for you you would imagine that strike at Southampton has helped him confidence-wise that’s what you want to see them him taking on players the Erikson to deliver for Manchester United.
Anthony Wins a Penalty:-
M’s gone round the back curious header from Cotter rashford has a swing and another go defined defending from the Yorkshire side’s been heavily involved so far rashford second was a a better strike than the first Erikson to Garo rashford good first touch even better second and the third is a bter one it’s two goals in two games but that is vintage Marcus rashford a goal that oo quality and a goal that with 16 minutes on the clock has given Manchester unit down in the lead .
Rashford’s Influence Grows:-
He’s looked Lively he’s looked confident from the start and when he wented his money a really good switch of play to give rashford a chance to have a go to get into that box and in a way he didn’t have any doubt are we looking at a reborn Marcus rashford here of course you take the opposition into account but he shown some neat footwork already that was a little too easily easy In fairness pass Mark Roberts but no mistake with the finish and Anthony un might have an overlap down this right hand side Anthony to rashford back to Anthony he gets that In a comes out penalty Manchester United always looked like he was going to get their second the Barnsley goalkeeper and so it proved felling Anthony and Landing his side deep in trouble once he’s committed himself here .
I mean Anthony’s jumped over the dive and you can see why slen feels it wasn’t a foul but it’s always going to be one isn’t it you just hand the leg you initiate the contact and and you get the decision who’s already helped rley to a penalty shootout win in this season’s cup run it’s Anthony it’s stuttering and it’s far into the back of the Barnsley net goodness me he needed that a goal for Anthony and a substantial lead for Manchester United .
Garnacho Adds a Fourth:-
Just like rashford you feel he needs a couple of goals for his confidence to start showing this club what he can do score 21 Anthony running in behind he’s got that no he hasn’t I Keith taking it off his toes twice now Keeper’s nearly found him lashford daning beyond the challenges G on the stroke at halim Manchester United have a thir and they will feel their first half efforts have taken care of business.
Manchester United three Barnsley in that’s the trademark celebration now for this young man he was just to break the ball he’s pounced on it he was the first to react nice footwork from rashford you thought maybe he’d be able to get a shot away but the deflection the side he was ready for he was on his toes first to react to little top pooke does the damage C wants it on this right hand side but it’s broken up by oate now k running through on goal at the strength of and and scoring his second and Manchester United’s fourth as soon as the ball came to him there was a sense of inevitability and gacho with a fabulous finish and manchest United have four well bet he couldn’t believe the space he’d got all the Barnsley players had been sucked over to the left side of the pitch.
And he was in acres not for the first time either he’s been in a fair bit of face in the first half Erikson sees him quickly and accurately after that he’s got all the Time in the World to decide what he wants to do and to do it defensively it’s not something that darl Clark would be too happy with tough word B backat from haded Le business of the weekend that’s Burton anony that’s much more like it from him he felt he was foul Gavin W didn’t see it that way Gad for Manchester United rashford rashford and Manchester United running right in the carabal cup well he’s making it look easy at the moment Marcus rashford in contrast to many months when it’s looked to real slog real hard work .
Near Miss for Anthony:-
But whichever side it falls his his concent at the moment right foot left for little mess from Barnsley giving it away there just ons side that’s clinical casmiro Maz RI Anthony T over by lenina yeah never really threatened to beat the keeper straight at him get that angle on it mire leading the United charge to Bruno Fernandez to garnacho garnacho Anthony Manchester United sweeping Gara well that was the hatrick he’ll probably get another chance the way things are going but he could have had it there with three quarters of the match gone .
Eriksen Completes the Rout:-
I’m amazed he didn’t tuck that one away so many options on the ball for United at the moment you thought Anthony might have had a go himself but no just fell back on it the low this be easy to get over wants to lose by this margin they’ll take positives from it should to be in the mix at the end of the season there’s Fernandez and there’s ericon oh Christian Ericson who has conducted from Deep spearheaded the Manchester United attack there and answer six with 10 minutes to play again .
Manchester United’s Biggest Ever League Cup Win:-
I think physically the fact he’s able at this stage to get himself into the box he’d be pleased with that as well as the Finishing Touch see him lay it off and he doesn’t just stand he thinks oh I’ll have a little join in here flick from Fernandez xer Erikson they’re flowing now the old Traer goals for United and for Erikson it is a humiliation no matter the the golf between the two sides have a look at this so smooth the saying goes that one swallow doesn’t make a spring but it’s been a huge step forward for Marcus rashford and this has been a huge win for Manchester United easily the best that Eric tenh har has enjoyed in his two plus years at the club he loves the cups and he’ll certainly have enjoyed.
Conclusion: A Night to Remember:-
Tonight it was so easy for Manchester United Barnsley simply Blown Away of the theater of Dreams a nightmare for them final score Manchester United’s biggest ever League Cup win Manchester United seven Barnsley nil.
