The last meeting with the League One outfit was in this very competition 15 years ago; that tie landed in the fourth round. Goals from forward pair Danny Welbeck and Michael Owen proved the difference at Oakwell that night, and current Reds defender Jonny Evans played a key role in keeping the clean sheet too.

Manchester United will begin their quest in the domestic league tonight when the Red Devil face league one side Barnsley at Old Trafford in the third round of the Carabao Cup. Erik Ten Hag's first major silverware as the Red Devil manager was winning the Carabao Cup in the 2022/2023 season when Manchester United beat Newcastle 2-0 at the Wembley Stadium.
