Man United defeats Leicester in the League Cup in response to Ten Hag's dismissal.
Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle, and Crystal Palace also made it to the competition's first all-Premier League quarterfinals team in fourteen years.
Tottenham defeated Manchester City in the round of 16 on Wednesday, while Manchester United responded to Erik ten Hag's dismissal by scoring four goals in the opening 38 minutes of their 5-2 thumping of Leicester in the English League Cup.
The reigning champions Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle, and Crystal Palace all made it to the competition's first all-Premier League quarterfinals team in fourteen years.
Two days after Ten Hag left, United showed the cutting edge that the Dutch manager so frequently lacked. Casemiro, a midfielder from Brazil, scored two of the team's goals in the first half, including a curling shot from 30 meters out into the top corner.
In that early burst of goals, Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho also scored, and Fernandes added a fifth in the 59th minute.
After serving as Ten Hag's assistant, former United star striker Ruud van Nistelrooy took over as manager of United and appeared to enjoy his one and only game in that role. Ruben Amorim, the coach of Sporting Lisbon, is reportedly on the verge of joining United to replace Ten Hag.

"It is obvious that this will be a short-term situation," Van Nistelrooy stated, "so for me today was the most important day after what happened. In such short notice... credit to the players, they were fantastic." Premier League leader Man City had a memorable evening as they not only lost to Tottenham 2-1 but also lost Savinho and Manuel Akanji to injuries, further depleting Pep Guardiola's already-depleted list.
Before Matheus Nunes cut the deficit in first-half stoppage time for City, Timo Werner and Pape Sarr's goals in the first twenty-five minutes put Tottenham ahead by two goals.
Savinho had an ankle injury and was crying as he was taken off the field on a stretcher in the 63rd minute, while Akanji was wounded during the warm-up and did not start the match. Due to injuries, City already lacks Rodri, Jeremy Doku, Kyle Walker, Kevin De Bruyne, and Jack Grealish.

Guardiola remarked, "With the number of players, we are in a difficult position."
Tottenham was selected to play Man United in the quarterfinals despite Micky van de Ven and Werner also suffering injuries.

After Tariq Lamptey gave Brighton their second goal in the ninetieth minute, Liverpool managed to hold on and will have to go to the south coast once more in the round of eight to play Southampton.
Last season, Liverpool defeated Chelsea in the final to win the League Cup for the tenth time in a row.
