Northampton Town vs Manchester United 1-3 (EFL cup highlights)

The 18-year-old came off the bench and made the
difference after the Red Devils had allowed Northampton Town
to get back into the game in the EFL Cup on Wednesday
Jose Mourinho never actually used Marcus Rashford’s name
when reviewing his injury-time winner against Hull City in the
Premier League at the end of August. He referred to him
simply as “The Kid”.
But the boy who has quickly become a man during 2016 proved
his importance to the Manchester United cause once more on
Wednesday by bailing them out of a tight spot to secure a 3-1
win over Northampton Town in the EFL Cup which snapped a
three-game losing streak.
Just when Mourinho needed an experienced head on the pitch
to guide his side through the choppy waters, the most
inspirational contribution came from one of the youngest
players in his matchday squad.
The return of Michael Carrick also had a big say in United
progressing to the fourth round, with his composure helping
them to cause their hosts a number of problems throughout the
night, yet it was the 18-year-old who ultimately made the
difference.
Carrick had an impact from the start and it was symbolic that
United’s opener came from the vice-captain. Wayne Rooney’s
indirect free-kick following a backpass offence was blocked
but Carrick calmly fired the ball back into the far top corner.
From there United continued to control the pace of the game
as Northampton remained on the back foot, but they did
gradually begin to take their foot off the pedal as they
somehow turned a comfortable position into a frantic struggle.
In the 10 minutes before the interval they made it appear
that they were the League One team and the Cobblers their
esteemed opponents.
