Pundit Predictions: Who starts against Luton?

Saturday 11 November 2023 12:35

Who will start for Manchester United against Luton Town? It’s a hot topic of debate as we approach Saturday’s 15:00 GMT kick-off at Old Trafford in the Premier League.

Erik ten Hag confirmed on Friday that Jonny Evans is unavailable with an injury sustained in Wednesday’s Champions League defeat to FC Copenhagen. 

With Lisandro Martinez a long-term absentee, Raphael Varane and Victor Lindelof are the leading candidates to replace the Northern Irishman. In case you missed it, Amad, Casemiro, Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw are all out until further notice.
