Man Utd has been in good form since the beginning of 2024. They can maintain their winning streak when they visit Luton Town in round 25 of the Premier League.
Comment on Luton vs Man Utd
Man Utd enters 2024 with the return of many pillars such as Luke Shaw, Casemiro, Harry Maguire. Improved squad quality helps Erik ten Hag easily deploy his playing style for Man Utd. They are one of the most consistent teams in the new year.
However, unfortunately for Man Utd, Luke Shaw may be absent. Before that, they also lost Lisandro Martinez due to a knee injury. This greatly affects the ability of the “Red Devils” to deploy the ball from the backline.
Coach Erik ten Hag must find a solution to this problem. Victor Lindelof is likely to be used as in the match against Aston Villa but this is not a safe choice.
In addition to concerns about the position Shaw left behind, Erik ten Hag may be satisfied with other positions. Casemiro is playing well with young star Kobbie Mainoo. Every time the pair go on the field together, Man Utd wins. They bring stability to the midfield frame, while also increasing the lethality of upward passes.
Besides, Rasmus Hojlund is in high form with 5 goals in 5 consecutive matches. The Danish player is finding common ground with Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford.
However, Man Utd must be wary during their trip to Kenilworth Road. Rob Edwards’ team is struggling for relegation but is not an easy opponent for the big guys. Man City, Tottenham, Arsenal only narrowly won against the rookies of the Premier League. Meanwhile, Newcastle and Liverpool had to split points against Luton.
Luton won good results in the last 5 matches, with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. Meanwhile, Man Utd is aiming for their 5th consecutive win and extending their unbeaten streak to 7.
In the first leg, Man Utd won 1-0 against Luton Town. But in the return leg, Kenilworth Road is not an easy challenge for the “Red Devils”.
