Our confirmed MUFC XI for the Carabao Cup game against Barnsley is now in.
Manchester United Football Club begin their Carabao Cup campaign at home to Barnsley this evening, as the Red Devils look to progress to the next round safely.
The game itself should be a one-sided affair given the gulf in quality between the two sides, but make no mistake about it, Barnsley will be working hard to try and cause an upset.
Erik ten Hag was always going to rotate for this game, at least in some capacity, as he looks to utilise his squad to the fullest. There has perhaps been less rotation than expected, though, with some household names in the team from the off.
Anyway, without further ado, let’s give you the full rundown, with the team news now in.

Altay Bayindir comes into the side for what is just his second start since making the move to Old Trafford. The Turk will be looking to prove his worth.
The back four is interesting. It looks like we could see Jonny Evans starting in a left-back position here, with Diogo Dalot over on the right. Casemiro looks to be sat at the heart of defence alongside Harry Maguire.
Manuel Ugarte comes into the team for his full debut, with Toby Collyer also making a rare start. Christian Eriksen makes up the midfield trio here.
Marcus Rashford appears to be leading the line, with Antony and Alejandro Garnacho on his right and left respectively.
Come on you Reds!
