That&#8217;s what we need and have to show every game. I was so disappointed and mad on Sunday because we didn&#8217;t fight,&#8221; Ten Hag said. <br \/>&#8220;Our two halves are never the same. Tonight we controlled the game in the first half by good pressing but then did the wrong things, so we missed a lot of opportunities. <br \/>&#8220;At half time we said keep the pressing but be more direct. I&#8217;m proud of the team we could do that. We are in the right direction but still a long way to go.&#8221; <br \/>The League Cup remains United&#8217;s last domestic trophy triumph in 2017 and Ten Hag would relish the chance to end that drought later this year. <br \/>He will have to wait until after the World Cup for United&#8217;s next League Cup tie against Burnley, with the last 16 scheduled for just days after the final in Qatar. <br \/>Holders Liverpool have been handed a trip to Manchester City in a high-profile last 16 clash, but both teams are likely to feature youthful line-ups to allow their players extra rest after the World Cup. <br \/>Martin Dubravka was making his United debut and the former Newcastle keeper was almost embarrassed as Douglas Luiz&#8217;s inswinging corner arrowed towards the near post, where McTominay headed off the line to spare the Slovak&#8217;s blushes. <br \/>That near-miss was the highlight of a scrappy first half as each teams surrendered possession more than 60 times. <br \/>The entertainment level rose dramatically after half-time. <br \/>Villa took the lead in the 48th minute when Jacob Ramsey&#8217;s pass caught United in a failed attempt to play offside. <br \/>Watkins sprinted in behind Harry Maguire and Dalot before clipping a deft finish over Dubravka. <br \/>United produced the perfect response with an equaliser 60 seconds later. <br \/>Picked out by Dalot&#8217;s pass, Fernandes got behind the flat-footed Villa defence and squared for Martial, who had the simple task of tapping in his fourth goal this season. <br \/>Villa went back in front after 61 minutes when former United defender Ashley Young crossed to the far post, where Dalot stuck out a boot to deflect Leon Bailey&#8217;s header into his own net. <br \/>On the day his place in England&#8217;s World Cup squad was confirmed after his renaissance this term, Rashford bagged the 67th minute equaliser. <br \/>Rashford started the move with a header towards Christian Eriksen in the Villa area. <br \/>When the ball rolled back to him, Rashford showed a deft touch to evaded Tyrone Mings&#8217; lunge and then displayed his strength by holding off Calum Chambers before ramming his close-range finish past Olsen. <br \/>United had all the momentum by that point and Fernandes completed their comeback in the 79th minute. <br \/>Olsen&#8217;s horrendous pass went straight to Alejandro Garnacho and he set up Fernandes for a powerful strike that deflected in off Mings. <br \/>In stoppage-time, McTominay volleyed home from a pin-point cross by eye-catching substitute Garnacho. <\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n                  window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || {};\n                  const { TimesApps } = window;\n                  TimesApps.loadFBEvents = function() {\n                    (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n                      if (f.fbq) return;\n                      n = f.fbq = function() {\n                        n.callMethod ?
