Manchester United will host Charlton Athletic in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday evening at Old Trafford. United advanced to the last eight of the competition after defeating Aston Villa 4-2 and Burnley 2-0. Charlton beat Queens Park Rangers 5-3 on penalties, Walsall 1-0, Stevenage 5-4 on penalties, and Brighton and Hove Albion 4-3 on penalties to earn their place…
Erik ten Hag could well be looking at the Carabao Cup as his first trophy at United this season with his club still in the Emirates FA Cup after beating Everton 3-1 in the third round at Old Trafford on Friday evening. Charlton will be seeking to stay in the competition, earning a semi-final place this season, giving them two more matches this season. Granted, if United get there, the two semi-final matches will bulk up their season.
United still have two Premier League matches to reschedule, as well as a UEFA Europa League play-off double header against Barcelona next month, giving United a bit of a fixture overload with the Premier League’s halfway point still a fortnight away, with games against Manchester City next weekend and Arsenal the weekend after. Ten Hag’s season is set to become much more competitive.
