CAPITAL CUP AGAIN!!!

13 Aug 2014 22:05:00
Louis van Gaal will be taking his side to Stadium MK
as the Old Trafford outfit take part in the second
round for the first time in 19 years, having appeared
in the 1995/96 season
Manchester United will travel to MK Dons after drawing the
League One side in the Capital One Cup second round.
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.
Manchester United and MK Dons have never faced each other
before, and Louis van Gaal's side will be facing a side which will
include Arsenal forward Benik Afobe, who is currently on loan a
the League One outfit.
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.
