Man United got back to winning ways in the Premier League but now, they turn their attention to facing Barnsley in the EFL Cup Third Round tie.
Both teams are situated in the North of England but for this tie, Man United have the luxury of playing at home. This means that Barnsley fans, despite playing in the third tier of English football, will travel to one of the most iconic stadiums in the world, Old Trafford.
Last season, Man United progressed in the third round of the EFL Cup but were eliminated in the fourth round. Therefore, Erik ten Hag will hope for improvement in this season.
