Casemiro scored one goal and set up another as Carabao Cup holders Manchester United eased into the fourth round with a 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.
Erik ten Hag named a much-changed team from Saturday's Premier League win over Burnley but United dominated throughout, with Alejandro Garnacho scoring the first in the 21st minute before Casemiro headed in a corner from the returning Mason Mount six minutes later.
Casemiro then turned provider for the third 10 minutes after half-time when Anthony Martial classily dispatched his superb cross as the hosts raised spirits at Old Trafford following their difficult start to the campaign.
Crystal Palace, who also made extensive changes, only began to threaten following the second-half introduction of Eberechi Eze but by then it was too late, the result ensuring back-to-back wins for United as they aim to get their season back on track.
