Luton Town vs Manchester United LIVE: Ten Hag has perfect record against promoted teams as Red Devils return to Kenilworth Road – kick-off time, team news and how to follow

Manchester United will look to continue their recent momentum to close the gap to the top four when they face Luton Town this weekend.

The Red Devils are unbeaten in all competitions in 2024 ahead of a first visit to Kenilworth Road in 32 years.

Erik ten Hag's side have secured late away wins at Wolves and Aston Villa recently to reignite their push to retain Champions League football.

Man United are now just five points adrift of Tottenham in fourth as they bid to extend their dominant record over Luton.

The Old Trafford outfit are unbeaten in their last 12 meetings with Luton in all competitions, since a 2-1 loss at Kenilworth Road in 1987.

Ten Hag has won also all nine of his Premier League games against newly promoted clubs, the best 100 percent win ratio against those sides of any manager in Premier League history.

Luton have proved a stern challenge for Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal at home this term but may be rocked by a 3-1 defeat to bottom side Sheffield United last time out.

Ten Hag has a big decision to make over whether to restore Scott McTominay to his starting line-up.

The midfielder scored an 86th-minute winner as a substitute for United on Sunday in their 2-1 victory away at Aston Villa.

McTominay has netted eight goals in all competitions this season and is the club's second-highest scorer behind Rasmus Hojlund on 11.

Despite this, the Scotland international has made just 17 starts during the campaign, with his last two goals coming off the bench with 17 minutes left on the clock.

His seven Premier League goals this season have been worth 12 points to his side, the most of any player for any team this season.

Unfortunately for McTominay, the data shows that Ten Hag's side performs better when his role is reduced
