Confirmed: United's team to face Luton

The Reds are looking for a fourth consecutive victory in the Premier League, which would take us to just three points behind fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, who lost at home to Wolves on Saturday.

We won on the road last time out, with substitute Scott McTominay's 86th-minute header settling a tight game at Villa Park, and Erik ten Hag has opted to field an unchanged team from that encounter.

It's the first time Ten Hag has named the same side for back-to-back games since August, and the meetings with Wolves and Tottenham.

That means Luke Shaw has overcome his injury issue to start, after being withdrawn at half-time for Victor Lindelof in the West Midlands.

“We took him off as a precaution against Villa at half-time,” Erik told Sky Sports.

“We built him up again during the week. It was not certain on Thursday at the press conference that he could play but he’s fine, good improvement.

“When he’s fit he has to play because definitely he will contribute to our levels in the game.”

Rasmus Hojlund leads the line as he is bidding to score in a sixth straight top-flight game.

A goal for the Dane would make him the youngest player in Premier League history to net in half-a-dozen consecutive matches.

United XI: Onana; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Shaw; Mainoo, Casemiro; Garnacho, Fernandes (c), Rashford; Hojlund.

Substitutes: Bayindir, Lindelof, Evans, Amrabat, Eriksen, Amad, Antony, McTominay, Forson.
