Manchester United welcome League One outfit Barnsley to Old Trafford in the third round of the EFL Cup on Tuesday night.
This is the Red Devils' first cup fixture of the campaign, and they will enter it confident, after a 3-0 win at Southampton on Saturday.
On the contrary, Barnsley suffered a 3-0 defeat at the weekend, going down away to Stevenage to drop out of the playoff places, and are big underdogs for this cup tie.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's injury and suspension news ahead of this clash with Barnsley, who lost 7-0 here when they were a Premier League side in 1997.

De Ligt had to come off in the closing stages against Southampton, but later revealed it was precautionary as he was suffering with cramp after playing three matches in a week for the first time in five months, so Ten Hag may opt to rest the defender here to keep him fresh for the weekend.

Type of injury: Toe
Possible return date: September 17 (vs. Barnsley)
Lindelof was a player who almost left the club over the summer, but no move materialised, and the Swedish defender is close to making a return from injury, which is well timed given the recent issues suffered by De Ligt and Martinez.

Possible return date: September 29 (vs. Tottenham Hotspur)
Mount is another player that Ten Hag referenced after the win over Southampton, but like Hojlund and Shaw, he will also not be ready to feature here, with the end of month the likeliest return date for the former England man.
