Over the last two seasons Manchester United have been knocked out by two lower league teams (South End and Coventry) after previously winning the Carling Cup (League Cup) in 2006.
Tonight United face Premier League side Middlesbrough, will we put out a strong side or the youngsters?

Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to start the match which will help him with match fitness and sharpness.
Kuszczak will start in goal after Van Der Sar was injured on sunday and Ben Foster is also injured. Van Der Sar is expected to be back for saturdays match against Bolton but Foster will be out for around 6-8 weeks.
Manucho could make his Manchester United debut tonight after recovering from an achilles injury (or if you read skysports then he might not feature after suffering another injury).

Middlesbrough's top scorer- Mido, has a groin strain and is out of the match alongside another Boro striker- Tuncay.
Aliadiere is struggling to be fit after an achilles injury and Johnson is also struggling but with an ankle injury.

Manchester United Squad:
Kuszczak, Amos, Neville, Brown, R Da Silva, O'Shea, Evans, Gray, Chester, Eckersley, Hargreaves, Ronaldo, Anderson, Nani, Gibson, Hewson, Possebon, Cleverley, Welbeck, Manucho.

Hopefully our youngsters can put in a better performance than they did last time in the match against Coventry.
