Manchester United To Face Barnsley In The EFL Cup

Red Devils Aim To Continue Bright Start Under Erik Ten Hag

Manchester United have been drawn against League One side Barnsley in the third round of the EFL Cup.

The match will be played at Old Trafford on Wednesday, 9th November.

Erik ten Hag's side will be looking to continue their bright start to the season, having won their first two Premier League games.

Barnsley Will Be No Pushovers

Barnsley may be a division below Manchester United, but they will be no pushovers.

The Tykes are currently top of League One and have already knocked out Championship side Middlesbrough in the EFL Cup this season.

Manchester United will need to be at their best to avoid an upset.

Ten Hag To Rotate His Squad

Ten Hag is likely to rotate his squad for the EFL Cup clash.

The Dutchman has a number of options at his disposal, and he will be keen to give some of his fringe players a chance to impress.

The likes of Anthony Elanga, Donny van de Beek, and Facundo Pellistri could all start against Barnsley.
