United handed trip to MK Dons

Manchester United were last out of the hat as they entered the second round draw of the League Cup for the first time in 19 years - and will travel to MK Dons.

United have not been in this stage of the draw since 1995 - when they were famously dumped out by York City - but are there this season after failing to qualify for Europe last term.
