Only eight teams remain in the EFL Cup but with a few more victories, Erik ten Hag can lead his Manchester United side to their first trophy of his tenure.
Manager Dean Holden has been here before as he was the assistant manager when Bristol City defeated United at this stage of the competition in 2017, so he'll know just what belief can do for the team when up against a test like this. Charlton were last in the quarterfinals in 2006-07 but can make even more history with an upset of United. Only eight teams remain in the EFL Cup but with a few more victories, Erik ten Hag can lead his Manchester United side to their first trophy of his tenure.
Hello and welcome to The Athletic's live coverage of today's Carabao Cup quarter-final between Manchester United and League One's Charlton Athletic at Old ...
The 18-year-old has one defender to beat, who he cuts inside of before unleashing a great curling shot. Sessegnon does well down the left side before putting a high cross into United's box. Garnacho finds a late arriving Eriksen in the box. He has a chance to shoot but lays the ball off to McTominay instead, whose shot is blocked. With the game opening up, United counter again, this time through Pellistri.

United have the first corner of the night, it's played to the edge of the box and then Malacia is offside. 1hr 30 mins from kickoff: Hello and welcome to the Sporting News' live coverage of Manchester United vs. 9th minute: That ball out to the left from Maguire to Garnacho is becoming a big problem for Charlton. The Portugal international blazed over left-footed from the edge of the box. 24th minute: United look to press home their advantage and Antony attacks a ball to the far post. The Brazil winger received the ball on the right-hand corner of the box, shifted it onto his lethal left foot and curled a lovely finish into the far corner. Fraser storms forward on a surging Charlton break, Malacia scythes through the back of him and Charlton have a free-kick in a great position. That's going to be the end of is night. There's no VAR in this competition until the semifinals and the referee's assistant was absolutely fine being left to his own devices on that occasion. The 18-year-old was a menace all evening and involved in almost all of United's consequential attacks. 81st minute: United try to put things to bed, the tireless Garnacho drives into the box again. Charlton weathered a storm successfully after the goal and came out on the front foot when the second half got underway.
Erik ten Hag is under pressure to win now, but he's ensuring the next generation gets playing time as Manchester United reach the Carabao Cup semis.
[Zidane Iqbal](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/325549/Zidane-Iqbal), 19, was also in the squad against Charlton and 19-year-old defender [Rhys Bennett](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/162889/Rhys-Bennett) was on the bench as recently as the win over [Nottingham Forest](/soccer/team?id=393) on Dec. [Tom Heaton](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/42250/Tom-Heaton), making his full debut in goal, deserves credit for the way he commanded his penalty area to claim a number of high balls into the box. Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag, to BBC Radio: "We had to be in that semifinal and we did the job. It is the standards of this team, the subs have to be ready and we saw that again today." [Antony](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/281558/antony) scored a spectacular opening goal in the first half but United were only sure of progress past the League One side when substitute [Marcus Rashford](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/230945/Marcus-Rashford) scored twice in stoppage time to find the net for the sixth game in a row. A big test against the defending Premier League champions, who currently sit in second behind Arsenal. After beating Charlton in the Carabao Cup quarterfinals, Ten Hag is two games away from a Wembley final and the chance to collect his first piece of silverware as United manager. His reign at Old Trafford will be judged on whether he can win the Premier League or Champions League, but for a club starved of success the Carabao Cup is a good place to start. Charlton and Holden can take plenty of positives into their next game against Barnsley on Saturday. Ten Hag is under pressure to win now, but he's also making good on his promise to keep one eye on the future. [Highlights and notable moments](#highlights) [Best/worst performers](#bestworst)
Erik ten Hag was happy with his Manchester United side in the 3-0 Carabao Cup win over Charlton Athletic. The boss feels the game could have been made safe ...
We have to see how it develops in the coming hours and then we have to make a clear decision. "I have said many times, when he brings himself in the position, when the team brings him in the position, one-on-ones, he will score. The subs have to be ready and you've seen again today, all the subs were ready to contribute." I know this is a good opponent and they defend well, they have good organisation, theyโre tough and they fight for their lives and thatโs good. "I said before we have to reach the semi-finals and we did the job. We had to finish the game early on but, in the end, the objective was getting to the semi-final so compliments to the team.
