Manchester United managed to return to victory in the Premier League, now against Luton Town. The Old Trafford team placed themselves in an important way against the newly promoted team, but who had already caused a surprise in the previous match against Liverpool FC, where they managed to get a draw. Given this situation, the local team arrived with the need to win after the negative result in the UEFA Champions League.

 

The Red Devils, conditioned by a very tough defeat in Copenhagen in the Champions League, worked hard but were able to keep the three points against one of the most discreet teams in the tournament. Victor Lindelof scored, quarter of an hour into the second half, the only goal of the game at Old Trafford. The Swedish defender found himself inside the area on the second play after a corner kick.

In the 59th minute, Manchester United took the lead on the scoreboard, a corner taken into the area that bounced off a defender, the ball was lost in the area and Victor Lindelöf finished it into the net, partial 1-0. At minute 66, Ross Barkley's mid-range shot went wide. In the 70th minute, a ball into the area was managed by Marcus Rashford, but a phenomenal response from Thomas Kaminski repelled the danger. In the end, the advantage remained.

 

The situation between Varane and Ten Hag

Prior to the duel, Ten Hag took the opportunity to try to deny rumors about a tense situation with the French defender. a«A problem with Varane? Absolutely not. As I said, it is for tactical reasons that he chose the hinge. I think Harry [Maguire] and Jonny [Evans] did very well. Last year, Harry [Maguire] didn't play much. So he was very happy with Rapha [Varane] and I was always satisfied with his performance. But right now Harry is playing very well. There is internal competition », he said.
