Luton boss Rob Edwards grasping 'exciting opportunity' against Manchester United

Luton's manager Rob Edwards is eager for his team to seize the "exciting opportunity" to play against Manchester United on Sunday.

His team have performed strongly at home against top-six sides. They drew 1-1 with Liverpool at Kenilworth Road in November, and pushed Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea all the way in narrow defeats.

Despite the setback of losing 3-1 at home to Sheffield United last time out, Edwards is looking forward to their match against United. He said: "Our challenge is we've got a belief and a confidence that we can give anyone a game, especially at home."

With enthusiasm, he says: "So, the challenge is to go and do it again against one of the biggest clubs in the world, which is a really exciting opportunity for us."

Town boss Edwards has big dreams for his team. He said, "Our aim long-term, as stupid as this might sound, is to try and be mixing it with those big, big teams,"

He knows there's work to do, adding, "I think we've done well in certain
