Man Utd 3 – 0 Charlton
A much-changed Manchester United made it eight consecutive wins in all competitions by beating Charlton 3-0 at Old Trafford to reach the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
United manager Erik ten Hag made eight changes following Friday’s FA Cup victory over Everton and handed 17-year-old midfielder Kobbie Mainoo his debut, but it did not disrupt his side’s momentum.
Brazilian Antony’s fine left-footed strike from 20 yards gave United the lead in the 21st minute before second-half substitute Marcus Rashford’s late double sealed the win. The England international has now scored 15 goals this season and his impressive cameo saw him find the net for the sixth game in a row – and an eighth straight match at Old Trafford.
League One Charlton, who knocked out Brighton in the previous round, threatened to equalise in the second half but lacked quality in the final third as United secured their ninth win in a row at Old Trafford.
The draw for the Carabao Cup semi-finals will take place after Southampton’s last-eight clash with Manchester City at St Mary’s on Wednesday, live on Sky Sports.
