The Reds begin our 2021/22 campaign in the Papa John's-sponsored tournament with a tough trip to Lincoln City, with the 19:00 BST kick-off being screened live on MUTV.

Bradford City and Sunderland are also in our group, with the top two sides qualifying for the knockout stages.

United have progressed in both previous seasons in the tournament and scored some fabulous goals along the way, providing excellent entertainment for the supporters.

Take a look at our video compilation of the top 10 United strikes in the competition, which includes efforts by the likes of Ethan Laird, Ethan Galbraith, James Garner, Tahith Chong and Anthony Elanga.

There is also a last-minute winner by Mason Greenwood, at Doncaster Rovers, and a cheeky finish by Facundo Pellistri, who will spend this term on loan at Alaves.

Look out for one belting effort by Hannibal, who is likely to be involved when Neil Wood's side take on the Red Imps at Sincil Bank.

United beat Lincoln 1-0 in 2019, with Garner scoring the only goal of the game after a dynamic run from midfield.

The 20-year-old rejoined Nottingham Forest on loan at the weekend.

Let's hope there can be more memories made in front of the away fans in this year's competition, starting with Tuesday's clash.
