# Steve Bruce Praises Three Manchester United Players After Carabao Cup Win
Steve Bruce, former Manchester United player and current manager of Newcastle United, singled out three players for praise following his former club’s 3-0 Carabao Cup win against Crystal Palace on Tuesday. Alejandro Garnacho opened the scoring while Casemiro and Anthony Martial also got on the scoresheet in what was a dominant performance at Old Trafford.
## Harry Maguire
Bruce was particularly impressed with Harry Maguire’s performance. He told Sky Sports: ‘He’s very, very decent. He made a really good interception in the first five minutes, which was Palace’s only real effort in the first half. He did what Harry does. I’ve seen Harry play so many times likes this where he has done enough, he’s played well. You can see from the reaction of the supporters when he makes tackles. He is the one again. Fair play to him.’
## Anthony Martial
Bruce also lauded Martial and added: ‘[His goal was] a quality finish, with his wrong foot. He’s had his critics over the years but he is a really talented footballer. To take that on your wrong side and stick it into the top corner is a great finish.’
## Sofyan Amrabat
Quizzed about United midfielder Sofyan Amrabat, who was handed his full debut and was deployed as a left-back, Bruce said: ‘He looks a real player. He questioned him at left-back and if he would fit in there comfortably. I think he played everywhere but left-back! You can see he’s got a physical presence about him. That’s going to be big for Manchester United by the look of it.’
Manchester United have been in impressive form this season, and Bruce’s praise of three of their players is testament to that. With Maguire, Martial and Amrabat all playing key roles in the team’s success, it looks like they are set for a successful season ahead.
