MK KO For LVG?

Louis Van Gaal's poor start to life as Manchester United manager could hit rock bottom on Tuesday night.

With Manchester United still firmly in the doldrums, opposing them in a tricky-looking League Cup tie is irresistible at the prices on offer. Bet365 offer 9/1 on MK Dons dumping the Red Devils out in 90 minutes at a sold-out Stadium MK and that has to represent value.

Louis Van Gaal is yet to preside over a competitive victory in his new job and tonight he will attempt to do so without a number of his star players. Even if he goes with the back three which ended the draw at Sunderland - Keane, Blackett and Jones - it will be a hugely inexperienced defence.

The Dons have made a bright start to their League One campaign as they sit joint fifth in the table. They have taken four points from their last two outings, keeping two clean sheets in the process.

With the majority of a 29,000 capacity crowd cheering them on, Karl Robinson’s boys will be hugely motivated for what will be a career highlight for most.
