United will entertain Coventry City at Old Trafford in the third round of the Carling Cup.
The Sky Blues have been early pace-setters in the Championship, leading the table with seven points from three games after beating Barnsley and Cardiff, and drawing with Hull.
Manager Iain Dowie was named August's Championship Manager of the Month as a result, and his side's good form has continued in the Carling Cup.
Coventry are yet to concede a goal in the competition, having booked their trip to Old Trafford with comfortable 3-0 and 2-0 victories over Notts County and Carlisle respectively.
The tie will take place week commencing 24 September, and is one of a host of intriguing ties thrown up by Saturday's draw.
