EFL Cup!! Manchester United 4-1 West Ham (RESULT)

Manchester United eased into the EFL Cup semi-finals as they beat West Ham with manager Jose Mourinho watching from the Old Trafford stands.

The Portuguese, given a one-match touchline ban before the match, stayed out of view as United reached the last four for the first time since 2013-14.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic clipped in the opening goal inside two minutes before former United youngster Ashley Fletcher equalised as he pounced on David de Gea’s error.

Martial re-established the home side’s lead shortly after half-time, drilling Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s pass low into the bottom corner.

The France international stroked in Antonio Valencia’s low cross after a well-worked team move, with Ibrahimovic adding the gloss by tapping in with virtually the last kick of the game.

Wherever United manager Mourinho was – likely to be inside his office – he will have been pleased with his side’s fluent attacking display, and even happy enough to bring substitute Bastian Schweinsteiger on for his first game since March.

'IT'S HUMILIATING' - MOURINHO SLAMS CONTE FOR CHELSEA CELEBRATIONS

The Portuguese criticised his opposite number's antics on the touchline as they embraced following Chelsea's 4-0 win over the Red Devils at Stamford Bridge on Sunday

Conte was his typical exuberant self as Chelsea destroyed Mourinho's men to record their third straight Premier League win, celebrating Kante's strike wildly in the dugout area in particular.

And as Mourinho and Conte embraced at the end of the match, the former appeared to criticise his opposite number's antics as the fourth goal went in.

"Don't do that [celebrate] at 4-0. 1-0 okay, but 4-0 is humiliating,” Mourinho was filmed saying in Conte's ear.

When asked what he told Conte at the end of the affair by Sky Sports , Mourinho refused to comment.
