Manchester United fans could still cast a keen eye over the first round of the Carabao Cup despite not being involved with Wayne Rooney's Derby County set to take on Gary Neville and co's Salford City.
Derby - managed by United's all-time scorer Rooney since January - will host Class of 92-owned Salford in the standout tie of first round of the competition, which kicks off on the week-commencing August 9.
After news of the draw, Neville send a tweet to his former team-mate reading: 'Come on Wayne Rooney!!!!! Let’s be having ya'.
It will be one of the first game of Rooney's first full season in charge of the Rams after they narrowly avoided relegation from the Championship on the final day last campaign.
Salford City, owned by Neville, brother Phil, David Beckham, Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, and Paul Scholes, have risen up the football pyramid since the former United starlets' 2014 purchase and hope to secure promotion from League Two this season.
Elsewhere, 2013 winner Swansea City face an all-Championship tie with Reading, while newly-relegated Sheffield United host Carlisle.
There is also an all-London tie with Charlton meeting AFC Wimbledon at the Valley, with 2011 winners Birmingham City welcoming Colchester United.
It has already been a chaotic start to the domestic season for Rooney, with the EFL seeking a retrospective points deduction from last season, which would see them relegated from the Championship and replaced with Wycombe Wanderers.
Both teams were included in an interchangeable fixture list with the EFL still able to appeal the decision not to hand a points deduction to the East Midlands outfit.
Derby received a £100,000 fine over some of their accounting policies on Wednesday but the EFL retain the option to appeal that verdict by an independent panel and could push for a points deduction to be applied to last season.
But the Rams have hit back at the EFL accusing the league of jumping the gun with it's statement and suggesting it is unlawful to seek a retrospective points deduction that would send Derby down.
