A night that started with fresh questions over Paul Pogba's future ended with one of the best players that the Portuguese has ever worked with securing the finest win of his short managerial career.
Derby looked to have secured victory inside 90 minutes after substitute Jack Marriott followed up the exceptional Harry Wilson free-kick that cancelled out Juan Mata's early goal, only for Marouane Fellaini to direct home deep into stoppage time to snatch a 2-2 draw.
But former Liverpool goalkeeper Scott Carson proved the Sky Bet Championship side's shootout hero, saving Phil Jones' attempt to secure an 8-7 triumph at a stunned Old Trafford.

Join us from 7pm for line-ups, team news and all the buildup as Jose Mourinho takes on Frank Lampard for a place in the fourth round. In the meantime, here's the latest from the Mourinho-Pogba saga, which has taken a drastic turn:
Frank Lampard meets his old friend Jose Mourinho for the first time as a manager tonight at Old Trafford but it may be a tougher reunion than he's hoping for.
Lampard manages a Derby County side that have never beaten Man Utd in the League Cup, losing twice in 1970 and 2009.
"[Mourinho] is a manager who was hugely influential on my career twice - but particularly the first time around," said Lampard.
"I respect him completely for that. You will find Jose Mourinho's players being managers all over the place because he has been so successful in his career.
"They're expected to win, quite rightly so with the squad they've amassed there. It's a challenge for us and we want to go there and do as well as we can."
Jose Mourinho has been lamenting on his enjoyment of cup football.
"I like the feeling of the knockout," he said. "You win, you are in the competition; you lose, you are out. I like that pressure and honestly I think fans also like it.
"In this moment, you don't even have the possibility of playing 30 more minutes after a draw - you go straight to a penalty shootout, which obviously is a 50/50 situation.
"So there is a better chance for the teams not considered favourites, which brings more possibility of killing giants."
We're 5 minutes away from kick off at Old Trafford.
Carabao Cup third round.
Man Utd vs Derby County.
Mourinho vs Lampard.
Let's do this...!
Man Utd 0 - 0 Derby
Man Utd start the match, Derby press high and win the ball, Wilson gets it from Mount and whips a cross into the box, no-ones there and it goes out of play.
2 mins: GOAL! Man Utd 1 - 0 Derby - Mata
Martial gets the ball as it's delivered over the head of Derby right back Bogle, he runs down the wing before pulling the ball back to Lukaku who's run into the box. Lukaku backheels the ball into the path of Lingard who passes it to Mata. Mata's all on his own in the box and he hits a curling left-footed strike into the bottom corner to give United the lead
