Capital One Cup Draw
The Red Devils, who last won the competition back in 2010, were in the draw prior to the third-round stage for the first time in 19 years following a disappointing 2013-14 campaign that saw them finish seventh in the table.
United boss Louis van Gaal will likely give some of his young prospects a chance to impress for the second round clash, which will take place week commencing August 25.
The likes of Tyler Blackett, who featured regularly during the club's recent US tour, and Jesse Lingard could be involved while James Wilson, who made such a big impact at the tail end of United's disastrous campaign last term, may also be included.
And the Old Trafford side will be hoping to go one better than last year and make it back to Wembley, after they lost on penalties to Gus Poyet's Sunderland in the semi-finals of the competition last year.
Elsewhere in the draw, last year's finalists Sunderland travel to 2011 winners Birmingham City, while 2013 champions Swansea City start off at home to Rotherham.
Stoke City welcome Portsmouth to the Brittania and Ronald Koeman will take Southampton to the New Den to take on Milwall, while there are also away ties against lower league opposition for Newcastle and Crystal Palace.
West Brom, West Ham, Leicester City, Aston Villa and Burnley have all been given home ties, against Oxford, Sheffield United, Shrewsbury, Leyton Orient and Sheffield Wednesday respectively, while the tie of the round is arguably the Yorkshire derby between Championship outfit Leeds United and League One Bradford.
