Barnsley manager Darrell Clarke expressed his outrage after his team suffered a humiliating 7-0 defeat to Manchester United in the Carabao Cup, threatening to 'slap' players who claim Premier League stars are poor. United dominated the match with goals from Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Christian Eriksen, and a penalty from Antony, leaving Barnsley unable to register a single shot on target. Clarke criticized his players for their lack of performance, emphasizing that the result was a 'huge wake-up call' about the quality disparity between his squad and top-tier teams. He acknowledged only one player, Mael de Gevigney, for his commendable effort during the match. Meanwhile, United's manager Erik ten Hag celebrated the clinical performance, marking his biggest win since taking charge. The defeat serves as a reminder for Barnsley to elevate their game in future competitions.
