Manchester United beat Barnsley 7-0 in the third round of the EFL Cup on Tuesday night.

The Red Devils cruised past the lower league side with ease, with attacker Marcus Rashford inspiring the team to a huge win.

Rashford scored twice for Erik ten Hag’s team, with Alejandro Garnacho and Christian Eriksen also scoring two each.

Antony scored the other goal, a penalty handed to him by Rashford to help him regain his confidence.

It was the biggest win under Ten Hag’s tenure at the club, taking the Red Devils to the next round of the competition.

Following the win, Ten Hag was full of praise for Rashford. He said, as quoted by The Athletic:

“The goals not only have to come from Marcus Rashford. “We need more goalscorers but I know from my first season here when he scores then it’s [easier] for the team when you have a player in your squad who is a guarantee for goals.

“Then it can make the difference. You can do a lot of things very good between the boxes but football matches are decided in the box. I’m not only expecting this from Marcus Rashford, I expect it from others who are in the prime of their career but we also have some others who are high potentials, they are very hungry to score goals.”
