Erik Ten Hag’s Manchester United will be going toe to toe with EFL League One outfit Barnsley, who are currently led by their Head Coach Darrell Clarke, at Old Trafford in the Third Round of the 2024/25 Carabao Cup in September. The Red Devils are looking for a seventh victory in this competition.

United’s six previous triumphs took place back in 1992 (1 – 0 vs. Nottingham Forest), 2006 (4 – 0 vs. Wigan Athletic), 2009 (4 – 1 on penalties vs. Spurs), 2010 (2 – 1 vs. Aston Villa), 2017 (3 – 2 vs. Southampton), and most recently in 2023 against Newcastle United, who they were able to beat comfortably 2 – 0 thanks to goals from Casemiro (33’) and Marcus Rashford (39’) in the first half.

Meanwhile, Barnsley have never won the Carabao Cup yet in their almost 140 year history. The furthest that the South Yorkshire outfit have made it into this competition is the Quarter Finals, which they reached in 1982, losing 3 – 1 to Liverpool over two legs.

United enter this season’s League Cup competition at the third round stage, but Barnsley had to take part in the first two rounds before they got drawn for this tie against the Premier League giants.

They beat Wigan Athletic 4 – 2 on penalties away from home. In the second round, the Tykes were drawn against EFL Championship outfit Sheffield United at Oakwell, causing an upset on this occasion by beating Chris Wilder’s Blades 1 – 0 thanks to a winning goal from forward Max Watters in the early stages of the second half (52’).

The most recent game in this competition between these two clubs took place back on 27th October 2009, also at Oakwell, where the Red Devils were able to win comfortably 2 – 0 in the end. Danny Welbeck (6’) and Michael Owen (59’) were the two goal scorers for Sir Alex Ferguson’s side that day.

Overall, Manchester United and Barnsley have come face to face a total of 38 times, and it is the Red Devils who have the superior number of 22 victories, with the Tykes having 5 wins so far in all competitions against United. There have been 11 draws in total so far.

This tie is set to be intriguing, with Erik Ten Hag’s Manchester United set to begin their journey to the Final with a Third Round 2024/25 Carabao Cup tie against Barnsley at Old Trafford.
