Manchester United gave the Old Trafford crowd a second half to savour in their 4-2 win over Aston Villa in the League Cup, their final home match before the World Cup.
After a drab first half the tie exploded after half-time with two goals within a minute. Ollie Watkins’ 48th-minute opener was cancelled out 19 seconds after the restart by Anthony Martial before Diogo Dalot’s own goal put Villa ahead just after the hour mark.
An excellent bundling run and finish from Marcus Rashford levelled the game six minutes later before a deflected Bruno Fernandes effort turned the tie around. A sumptuous cross from Alejandro Garnacho allowed Scott McTominay to prod home the fourth goal on the stretch in stoppage time to cap a successful night.
