Gary Neville has praised Manchester United for producing their ‘best’ performance of the season in Tuesday’s 3-0 Carabao Cup win over\u00a0Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n
United secured back-to-back wins for the first time this season as goals from Alejandro Garnacho, Casemiro and Anthony Martial sealed victory against Roy Hodgson’s side.<\/p>\n
Erik ten Hag rang the changes for the cup clash, handing Harry Maguire his first start of the season and summer recruit Sofyan Amrabat his full debut at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Mason Mount and Raphael Varane also made impressive returns from injury in the one-sided knockout clash against a weak Palace team.<\/p>\n
Both sides will meet again in the Premier League on Saturday with further wholesale changes expected to be made for the top-flight encounter.<\/p>\n

Neville has justifiably been critical of United’s performances so far this season that has seen his former side slump to embarrassing defeats against Spurs, Arsenal, and Brighton, however, the 48-year-old dished out praise on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Tweeting while his Salford City side were being hammered by Burnley in their third round clash, Neville stated: ‘The best United have played all season.’<\/p>\n
United supporters appeared to largely agree with the former Red Devil who lifted eight Premier League titles and two Champions League trophies during his celebrated career at the club.<\/p>\n

United’s Brazilian midfielder Casemiro scored his side’s second goal at Old Trafford<\/p>\n

One response to Neville’s initial post read: ‘Absolute best, United in total control so far. The young lads setting the pace here, a wonderful performance no doubt!’<\/p>\n
Another optimistically added: ‘We play with this formation, it would be difficult for any club to beat us.’<\/p>\n
However, a third comment somewhat disagreed, stating: ‘Amrabat was desperately needed. But I don\u2019t agree. I think first half v spurs away and arsenal first half away were just as good.’<\/p>\n
Neville and United supporters will be hoping to see a repeat of Tuesday’s dominance when Palace travel to Manchester again in the Premier League at the weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
