Manchester United and MK Dons are playing live on the Capital One Cup and Football League Cup schedule on Tuesday and the Red Devils are set for the League Cup matchup after starting off their Premier League season and the match begins at 2:45 pm ET from Stadium MK as Louis Van Gaal tries to get his first win with Man Utd and this comes in the second a round, a place the team is not very familiar with and the game is streaming live from beIN Sport.
Manchester United comes back to this stage for the first time since back in 1995 and they will be looking to get the first win for the team this season. There are no Premier League teams matched against each other for the second round and there are a number of other teams in action, including West Ham United and Swansea City. The Champions League playoff round and the CONCACAF Champions League are also on schedule and those will be played around the same time as Manchester United.
Man Utd comes in and will visit Milton Keynes, the former Wimbledon FC and they play in the third biggest stadium in the league and that could make it a tough atmosphere for the team to play in. Despite the fact that van Gaal has not yet had a win in the Premier League, the team is ready to keep things going and now they have the chance to move along here and many think the Reds have the chance to win this.
Last year Manchester United finished in seventh place in the league table and they also gave up a number of streaks at Old Trafford and now they have the chance to put that behind them. The team finished behind Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Everton in the standings and they opened this season with a loss as well. The team opened with a loss to Swansea City at the league opener for Man U and they played with Sunderland and ended up in a 1-1 draw to at least get a point.
MK Dons comes into the game with seven points in four games and they are seventh on the league table after a draw with Coventry City. Samir Carruthers may play for the opposition, while Chris Smalling and Ander Herrera likely will not play while Marcos Rojo is still getting his situation settled and that will also take time. The Red Devils come into the game having won five of the last six ties with a lower division team and the last time they played in the second round of the League Cup they were beaten on aggregate against York City.
Smalling came off in the first half of the last game and now he could be out for this one and the team has the chance to get into a good space heading into the weekend schedule. Manchester United plays against Burnley this weekend and it comes after the draw at the Stadium of Light and they are in the middle of the pack on the Premier League table. The team has a tough schedule coming up and over the next month or so they face off against Everton, Chelsea and West Brom as well as matches against the Queens Park Rangers and against Leicester City.
