Ten Hag names side for Hatters clash

Saturday 11 November 2023 14:00

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has selected his side for the home game against Luton Town in the Premier League.

The manager will be looking for his team to replicate the form we showed in the opening to the game at FC Copenhagen, before Marcus Rashford's red card and, ultimately, a 4-3 defeat in Denmark.

After the late win at Fulham last time out in the division, three more points would help ensure a rosier picture heading into the international break.

Jonny Evans was already ruled out of the contest, with the defender also due to miss Northern Ireland's games as he faces a few weeks on the sidelines with a thigh problem.

There are two changes to the side with Evans replaced at centre-half by Victor Lindelof, and Sergio Reguilon coming in for Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who is not in the matchday squad.

Erik confirmed Aaron is, unfortunately, ill and, therefore, unable to play.

"Yeah, Aaron is ill and so we had to change," he told MUTV. "It is what it is, we have to do it more often but they know the principles and rules. We worked on the co-operation and that is clear, now they have to bring it on the pitch."

Presumably, Reguilon will play at left-back, with Diogo Dalot switching to the right flank.

Rashford operated on the right in midweek, before his sending off, and Alejandro Garnacho was a threat down the left.
