Manchester United will play MK Dons in the second round of the Capital One Cup
United enter the competition a round earlier than the rest of the big names in the Premier League after their failure to make it into Europe this season.
It is the earliest United will have started the League Cup since September 1995 when they were knocked out by losing 4-3 on aggregate to York City.
Karl Robinson's Dons made it into the second round on Tuesday with a 3-1 win over fierce rivals Wimbledon.
The club's chairman Pete Winkelman told Sky Sports News: "It's the biggest game in the club's history and what a great time to get them as well.
"It's going to be a new-look United, the whole world will be looking at it and we can't wait to welcome them to Milton Keynes.
"We've been trying to get the stadium finished and it's only in the last year we've been able to put all out 30,000 comfortable seats in and I am sure all the United fans who come will have a fantastic night and enjoy the spectacle of football. We just can't wait to put the show on the road."
In the pick of the other ties Bradford face Leeds in a Yorkshire derby, Newcastle travel to Gillingham and Stoke face Portsmouth.
All ties will be played in the week of 25 August.
League Two side Burton - who beat Wigan in round one - host Premier League side QPR, while Northampton are rewarded for their win at Wolves with a trip to Bournemouth.
Brentford needed extra-time and penalties to beat Dagenham & Redbridge after an incredible 6-6 draw on Tuesday night and now face near neighbours Fulham.
Southampton travel to Millwall, while West Ham face Sheffield United and Aston Villa take on Leyton Orient.
