The match will be played at Old Trafford, and it will be a tough test for new Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.
Ten Hag has made a positive start to his tenure at Manchester United, but he will be aware of the threat that Barnsley pose.

However, they will still be confident of victory, and they will be looking to make a statement of intent in the EFL Cup.
The match will be a good opportunity for Ten Hag to see how his team performs against lower-league opposition.
It will also be a chance for him to give some of his fringe players a chance to impress.
Barnsley will be hoping to cause another upset, and they will be confident of their chances against a Manchester United team that is still finding its feet under Ten Hag.
The match is sure to be a close and entertaining affair, and it will be one that neither team will want to lose.
