Prediction: Luton 0-2 Manchester United
Although Manchester United have made a lot of changes with a difficult trip to Brighton to come on Saturday, they will still have a lot of quality for Luton.
After a disappointing start to the season, Salisbury will be desperate to avoid a back-to-back defeat.
The anti-street atmosphere in the Cup will reduce the Premier League experience a bit less than the fan at Kenilworth Road.
I’m not expecting to miss the opening Carabao Cup. But hey, I was wrong before.
Henderson started!
As expected, Dean Henderson has been given the lead role in tonight’s Luton Tour!
Henderson has an experienced back-line in front of which Maguire retains his place in the defense, while Van-Bisaka starts his first match of the season.
Newcomer Donnie van de Beek has also been given his first joint start, while Ighalo, Lingard and Mata have been given every opportunity to impress.
Paul Pogba is completely absent from the team.
Luton team
Starting XI: Shia, Tancliffe, Bradley, Halton, Shinny, Moncour, Locker, Clark, Kyuso, Narrington-Davis, Lulia

Just 10 minutes to team news!
We’ll bring you the team news when we drop it in about 10 minutes. Soulscare will likely make a difference, but we are looking forward to a tough United team tonight.
Salisbury: Man Ud needs five games to reach top form
In the run-up to tonight’s game against Luton, Ole Gunner-Salisbury insisted it would take him five games to reach the top.
United were given a short pre-season after reaching the Europa League semifinals and looked a bit off the beaten track against Crystal Palace on Saturday.
“We need four or five games so we know we can meet the standard,” he said. “We didn’t get a chance to win those games and we have to make sure that in these games, we get a few minutes and prepare the players to start competing again in the league.
“Brighton is going to be so difficult so we’ll use it, we want to get through it, but even for a few minutes it’s in minutes.
“We will make some changes, of course. For some, it’s pre-season and for some, they’ve only been here for a week, for various reasons.
“Many of them need game-time, they do and we can see we don’t have the sharpness. We just need to make the most of the training sessions and games we have. ”
Man Ud predicted the line-up
Although Ole Gunnar Sluskjair will likely name a significant change for Manchester United’s Luton tour, we expect the Norwegians to name a very experienced XI.
Under the guise of defensive injuries, his back-four will likely look close to full strength, although Dean Henderson’s goal is expected to be ahead of David de Gea’s.
There will also be possibilities to influence the likes of Lingard, Pereira and Ighlo.
Man United predicts XI: Henderson; Van-Bisca, Maguire, Bailey, Shaw; Matic, Lingard, Pereira; Greenwood, Ighalo, James
Head-to-head (H2H) history and results
This will be the 39th meeting between the two sides and as you would expect, it is Manchester United that has come up with a significant record.
United have won 28 games, while Luton is back with four wins and seven draws.
The last time the two clubs met was in 1992, when United were held to a 1-1 draw in the old Division One.
Manchester United team news
Ole Gunnar is expected to make some changes to the side that lost to Crystal Palace last time out.
Dean Henderson could have been replaced in the squad instead of David de Gea, with defenders Brandon Williams and Eric Bailey sitting in front.
Mason Greenwood was brought in as an alternative to the Palace, meaning he would likely be introduced at Luton.
Aaron Van-Bisca, who is on the bench due to ill health, is also ready to reclaim the right-back position, while Nemanja Matic and Daniel James could also start.
With injuries to Phil Jones and Axel Tuanzebe limiting Soulscare’s options to the back, captain Harry Maguire is likely to retain his place, while striker Odian Ighlo will be in charge of his start to the season.
Newcomer Donnie van de Beek also impressed by scoring on his debut as an alternative, and will probably join again.
Tall Man Tightened on YouTube Link
Porto full-back Alex Tales is gearing up for his potential move to Manchester United.
Tales has been heavily involved with United in recent weeks and his future has been called into question following Porto’s victory over Braga over the weekend.
Speaking to Sport TV, the 27-year-old said: “I am a boy who is very focused on work, people believe what they want, say what they want in the newspapers, but most My job is to focus on the important thing
“You know, and so do my teammates. Whatever happens, I’m focused on the club. I’m here, I’m playing.”
Solscare insisted that the defeat of the Palace was not due to the signatures
Ole Gunnar Slusskaire insisted that his players should focus on their performance rather than blaming Crystal Palace for their defeat due to a lack of transfer business.
United were beaten 3-1 at home by Roy Hodgson’s team early in the season.
And while United fans are furious they have only been allowed to enter the season with Donnie van de Beek as a new addition, with Sullivan insisting that it should blame his current players. .
“We can play much better than we do today,” he said. “If you look at the players we have on the pitch and on the bench and not here, we have to look inside first and find out if we can do better.
“It was a holiday, everyone knows they can improve and we will improve.
“But we are always trying to improve if one is available at the right price.”
