Carabao Cup opponents confirmed
Manchester United's quest to win the Carabao Cup in 2018/19 will begin with a third-round tie at home to Derby County.
The match will be played at Old Trafford in the week commencing 24 September, between the Reds' Premier League games at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers and away to West Ham United.
Derby, who are under the new management of Chelsea legend Frank Lampard, reached the third round by beating Oldham Athletic 2-0 away in the first round and then Hull City 4-0 away earlier this week.
United are among seven Premier League clubs who bypassed the second round due to being involved in European competitions this season, the others being Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Arsenal and Burnley.
Mourinho and Lampard spent four full seasons together across Jose's two spells at Chelsea, 2004/05 to 2006/07 and then 2013/14. In tandem at Stamford Bridge, the manager and midfielder won two Premier League titles, the FA Cup, two League Cups and the 2005 Community Shield.
The Reds have won 46 of the club's 105 games against Derby in all competitions stretching back to 1892. There have been 29 draws, while the Rams have triumphed on 30 occasions.
The most recent encounter between the teams was in the third round of last season’s Emirates FA Cup at Old Trafford, in January this year. Mourinho's men found the going tough against the Championship side before goals from Jesse Lingard and Romelu Lukaku in the final 10 minutes secured a 2-0 win en route to the final.
