Man United boss Erik ten Hag, chatting with Sky Sports…

In the previous few weeks, they’ve made steps ahead. We must play our soccer or else we might be in hassle.

It’s been a stunning reception for Tom Lockyer this afternoon.

He’s on punditry duties for Sky Sports and has been handled to a number of rounds of applause from all 4 corners in addition to numerous chants.

So far, he is doing a cracking job.

It’s virtually go-time on the Kenny!

I’m actually trying ahead to getting caught into this one. There are positive to be a number of intriguing battles in each space of the pitch.

Keep a detailed eye on midfield. Bruno Fernandes might be key for United, however Ross Barkley shouldn’t be underestimated for the hosts.

At the again, it might seem that Luton will go man-for-man up towards United’s attacking trio. That’s courageous – however will it repay?

That’s such a disgrace for Luton.

Adebayo picked up an harm in the course of the warm-up and has been deemed not match sufficient to play at the moment.

Woodrow will begin as an alternative – his first Premier League look from the off since an outing for Fulham again in 2014.

Adebayo has scored some massive, massive objectives this season.

It was a sluggish begin to Premier League life for Rasmus Hojlund after finishing his £72million switch from Atalanta to Old Trafford in the summertime.

He needed to wait 15 video games for his first aim within the English top-flight because the Dane scored in United’s comeback win over Aston Villa, and since then has scored in every of his subsequent 4 appearances.

Hojlund whipped out an electrical guitar celebration after scoring towards West Ham just lately and being in such wealthy type it might be no shock to see him rock once more at the moment.

Ross Barkley and a spot in England’s Euros group. A yr in the past that was a laughable thought, now after starring with Luton this season it might turn out to be a risk.

The former Everton and Chelsea playmaker has been out within the chilly for years however is one in every of Luton’s most influential stars this season, chipping in with three objectives and three assists in 18 Premier League video games.

Barkley’s final England look got here within the 2019 European qualifiers and Gary Neville believes there’s a likelihood the Luton star might drive his approach into the Three Lions camp once more.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Neville mentioned: ‘Slightly bit [of a chance], it can take rather a lot I believe due to the gamers Gareth Southgate has bought in these sorts of positions.

‘He has bought lots of aptitude gamers that he trusts and I believe with Gareth as soon as he is made his choice on a kind of participant, it takes a very long time for them to get again into his kind of body.

United stay unchanged from their 2-1 win over Aston Villa final weekend. There was considerations over Luke Shaw’s health however he has come by a late take a look at and begins at Kenilworth Road.

Meanwhile, Kobbie Mainoo continues his starring midfield position alongside Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes.

It looks like solely yesterday that United had no hope of catching the highest 4 and Spurs had been thought of real title contenders. A win at the moment for the Red Devils places them inside three factors of Ange Postecoglou’s aspect.

United struggled closely with accidents within the first half of the season however have discovered type because the flip of the yr and are unbeaten in all competitions in 2024.

A 2-1 Premier League victory over Aston Villa final weekend made it three wins on the spin, at the moment will make it 4, however a visit to Kenilworth Road is not any straightforward activity.

One Luton participant not concerned at the moment is Luton captain Tom Lockyer. The Hatters defender suffered a cardiac arrest at Bournemouth in December and has been sidelined whereas recovering since then.
