Manchester United are preparing to face Luton Town away with Erik ten Hag looking to make it four Premier League wins in a row.

Manchester United have won games against Wolves, West Ham, and Aston Villa all in a row, with Erik ten Hag‘s team climbing themselves up to sixth in the league table.

It has been an impressive start to 2024, with both the squad as a whole and individual players starting to show more consistency on the pitch.

One of those players is André Onana, who has performed very well in goal and will keep his place to play Luton.

In defence, the absence of Lisandro Martínez will leave Raphaël Varane and Harry Maguire as the centre-back partnership, while Ten Hag has an issue at left-back.

Tyrell Malacia is unavailable to cover for Luke Shaw, who is a doubt for the game. While Diogo Dalot has played there too when needed, he will be at right-back due to the absence of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, meaning that Victor Lindelöf will have to step into the role – something Ten Hag has previously spoken about.

In midfield, the trio pick themselves. Kobbie Mainoo has been outstanding since he broke into the team at the back end of 2023, and is starting to form a good partnership with Casemiro.

Bruno Fernandes, club captain, will continue his impressive durability, having played the most minutes in Europe during 2023.

Alejandro Garnacho, who has started United’s last 20 fixtures, is set to continue his streak, while Rasmus Højlund and Marcus Rashford will likely make up the rest of his attack.

Højlund is set to attempt to break a Premier League record on Sunday and become the youngest-ever player to score in six Premier League fixtures in a row, currently held by Newcastle’s Joe Willock.
