Manchester United strives to make it two wins in a row

Manchester United strives to make it two wins in a row as they welcome Barnsley to Old Trafford in the League Cup.

The Red Devils appear to have found their groove after a rough start to the season following a thrilling 3-0 triumph over Southampton with goals from Marcus Rashford, Matthijs de Ligt and Alejandro Gernacho.

However, Erik Ten Hag team seems to have struggled at Old Trafford this season with only one win coming via a Joshua Zirkzee strike against Fulham in their league opener. A victory in this encounter will put them back on track and commence their League Cup campaign on a positive note.

Conversely, Barnsley suffered a 3-0 defeat to Stevenage in their recent outing, ending their four-match unbeaten streak across all competitions.

Furthermore, they boast a respectable away form with only one defeat in their last seven matches as they aim to return to winning ways with this matchup.

Manchester United has never lost a competitive match against Barnsley in history. The Red Devils cruised to a 2-0 victory in their last meeting in 2009.
