How Manchester United should line up vs Luton Town in Premier League fixture

manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Manchester United welcome newly promoted Luton Town to Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon. United's hopes of progressing to the knockout rounds of the Champions League took a major blow in midweek following a 4-3 defeat against FC Copenhagen and a win against Luton before the international break is required.

Erik ten Hag's side have a strong record against teams towards the bottom half of the table and Luton were the favourites to be relegated at the start of the season, although they did draw against Liverpool at the weekend.

Our writers have had their say on how United should line up... United were so good when it was 11 v 11 in Copenhagen the only change should be enforced.

Raphael Varane is the obvious replacement for Jonny Evans. Scott McTominay has done decently of late, Christian Eriksen's creativity will be needed against what is bound to be a reticent Luton, Rashford and Aaron Wan-Bissaka showed promise down the right, Alejandro Garnacho has produced more mature performances from the start, Bruno Fernandes had telling impacts in midweek and Rasmus Hojlund was back among the goals.

Another midweek defeat does not mean United should rip up and start again. Evans misses out due to injury and Reguilon has to be worth a go on the left again.
