      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have thrashed League One side Barnsley to progress to the Carabao Cup fourth round.Marcus Rashford bagged the game’s opener with an emphatic finish on 16 minutes.Antony made it 2-0 after firing a superb penalty past Chelsea loanee Gabriel Slonina.Right on half time, Alejandro Garnacho got on the scoresheet for 3-0 to give United total control of the cup clash.Just after the interval, the young Argentine doubled his tally for the evening to make it 4-0 to the hosts before Rashford scored his second for 5-0.With 10 minutes to go, Christian Eriksen tapped in from close range to extend the Red Devils’ lead to 6-0 – and later, the midfielder became the third United player to bag a brace for 7-0.BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSFollow ALL the action from Old Trafford with our live blog below…Match reportIt is fair to say Alejandro Garnacho is back in Erik ten Hag’s good books.Left out of the starting line-up for the first three games, he was recalled for the defeat against Liverpool only to be dropped again.A ‘liking’ of an Instagram post quoting Cristiano Ronaldo’s latest rant about Ten Hag had probably not helped his cause as it made headlines and he was benched for the trip to Southampton.But he was back on tonight and with a bang.The 20-year-old Argentinian once again underlined why he is on a path to greatness at this club if he keeps his head down and keeps working.With two goals and two assists in a 5-0 win he lit up Old Trafford.Copy linkCopiedOn the wayHere’s the next four games for United.Two tricky Premier League games on the horizon and the squad will be tested with European football on the horizon…Copy linkCopiedTen Hag reactsErik ten Hag praised his side for their ‘100% concentration’ and says it was fun to watch his side playing.He also stuck up for Marcus Rashford, insisting every time he plays the manager is confident he’ll score.He told Sky Sports: “First of all it was a difficult start and they found their shape.“But then we scored some good goals starting with Rashford, a great goal.“We had the right attitude and they were 100% concentrated and we played very good.“It was fun to watch and I think the fans liked and appreciated it. We gave them some nice goals.”On Rashford, he added: “When he’s in the team, I’m calm and composed and confident he will score.“Last season was difficult for everyone but we ended with a trophy.
