Manchester United transfer news LIVE Man Utd vs Palace reaction plus Jadon Sancho latest

Manchester United kicked off their Carabao Cup defence with a comfortable 3-0 win against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on Tuesday night.

Erik ten Hag did what he very rarely did last season and made a whole host of changes for the League Cup outing. That being said, a number of his key players returning from injury were thrown into the XI and so it looked far from a second-string side.

Mason Mount was one of those returning from injury and he enjoyed a fine outing, grabbing a first-half assist for Casemiro and showing the kind of form that convinced United to spend as much as £60million on him during the summer.

Away from United's progress in the Carabao Cup, Jadon Sancho had us guessing once again yesterday after he deactivated his Instagram account. This isn't the first time he's deactivated the account but it comes just weeks after his public disagreement with manager Erik ten Hag. We'll have any updates on the situation for you right here.
