FANS will be glued to the screens as they wait to see who their team will be paired against in the Carabao Cup second round draw – and the ball numbers have been revealed.
Manchester United’s 15th-place finish and Europa League final defeat last season meant that they missed out on European football for the 2025/26 campaign.

They will be joined by the ten other Premier League sides that have no European commitments, and 35 EFL clubs that are victorious in the first round.
