EFL Cup draw: Northampton host Man Utd; Forest meet Arsenal

Manchester United have been drawn away to Northampton in the EFL Cup third round.

Jose Mourinho's men will take on the League One side at Sixfields Stadium on either Tuesday 20 September or Wednesday 21 September following the draw.

The Reds have played the Cobblers on four previous occasions. The first meetings took place in the 1965/66 season in Division One. A 1-1 draw at Northampton was followed by a 6-2 win for United at Old Trafford, inspired by a Bobby Charlton hat-trick.
