Teams face off this Tuesday (17) for the third round of the English League Cup; find out how to watch
Manchester United will host Barnsley, from the English third division, this Tuesday (17) at 4 PM (Brasilia time) at Old Trafford for the third round of the 2024/25 English League Cup. The match will be broadcast live by ESPN on cable TV and by Disney+ on streaming (see full schedule).
Manchester United enters the field for the third round of the Carabao Cup with a mix of hope and pressure. After a shaky start to the season, the 3-0 victory over Southampton brought some relief to coach Erik ten Hag, who urgently needs positive results. The win last Saturday (14) was marked by moments of scare, such as the penalty suffered in the first half, but with crucial saves from André Onana and goals from Rashford, de Ligt, and Garnacho, the Red Devils secured the victory. Ten Hag, who has won two titles while in charge of the club, one of which is the English League Cup, sees cup competitions as an opportunity to go far, even if he uses some players with fewer minutes on the field.
Barnsley, on the other hand, arrives for the confrontation trying to recover from a 3-0 defeat to Stevenage, which ended a four-match unbeaten streak in League One, the English third division. Darrell Clarke’s team occupies the seventh position in the league and has already shown strength in knockout matches, with victories over Wigan on penalties and Sheffield United in the previous rounds.
