Now making some changes, Ten Hagar can be said to have officially pulled Garnacho into the starting lineup, and in the same situation of playing on the left side, Rashford has to move to the right, which is a big change for Rashford who is more accustomed to playing on the left side.
Manchester United Football Club
They were looking to beat Luton as quickly as possible and Luton were forced to retreat. 9 minutes into the game Maguire moved down the right hand side of the pitch and kicked a bouncing ball straight back to the right hand side in front of him, which immediately led to a suspected refraction from Rashford's past pass.
When you hit 30 points, you can see
Manchester United Football Club
There were a couple of situations where Højlund had a couple of occasions where he stepped on the ball with the ball on his back in the box, he kept trying to turn around and was almost turning to shoot on the front foot, which actually made Luton nervous, but his most threatening was the front footed grab on the 9th minute, when it did seem like he kicked it too squarely hitting the keeper
However, Maguire was clearly confident and his handling of the ball was much improved, not only with the forward pass at the nine-minute mark, but later on Maguire even suddenly moved to the left of the field and crossed the ball in, of course, because Luton's counter-attacking force was not a threat.

The other is Garnacho and Rashford's unaccustomed to, Garnacho has already had the starting experience, but the effect is obviously worse than when he was on the bench, he seems to be not very good at the attacking battle, the front distance is not enough if his destructive power is greatly reduced, at present, it may be necessary to replace the field to impact on the opponent's already fatigued defense is more suitable, and Rashford ran to the right side of the road. Rashford is obviously not used to the right side, of course, his form this season is different from last season, there is a decline, but the right side is not his best position, a few times when he should pass and should break through, Rashford seems to be not as sharp as when he was on the left side.
Luton's counter-attack on
Manchester United Football Club
The pressure didn't work too well and they couldn't press all the way up the pitch, with arguably their best chance of the first half at the 35:00 mark when a ball from the right by Kabore was played to Morris in the box and his header was deflected away by Onana
Eriksen injured at 40, subbed by Mount.

There wasn't much pressure on the defense to bring on the offensively inclined Mount, then Højlund got the ball back in the middle of the field and turned it around, and laid it off to Garnacho on the left completely unmarked, who could have scored at this point but was still caught out by the Luton keeper Kaminski and the midfielder Kabore, who hesitated a bit to take a shot at the far post first.
At the start of the second half, at 48:00 Højlund took a free kick in the center of the box from B Faye, he threw his head at the ball, the ball was a little bit out of bounds, but Højlund was actually a threat!

Continuing to press forward on the attack, Luton had attempts to counterattack but they were

Under the full balance of the press forward, the entire formation was off to the rear, and the numbers were actually quite scattered as they went forward.

There's no more defensive pressure, even the center backs are pressing forward, and Reguilón keeps going up the left side to cross.
At 59 minutes.

A corner was taken, which was headed out to Mount and then to Rashford on the right, Rashford's cross into the center was cleared and Lindelof, who was in the 11-yard box, was just in front of the ball to break through to the Luton goal.

On 67 minutes Garnacho, who had hardly threatened in the game, was replaced by Antony and Rashford returned to the left flank, nothing really changed after that, Antony had a good cross for Rashford to shoot at but the Luton keeper picked him up, but after that the game was over.
Manchester United Football Club
The midfield looked a bit disorganized, and Luton went forward even more to try to catch up the points, and it was a battle until the 70th minutes, when Luton also played an attacking pass from the right side of the field
Manchester United Football Club
Luton deliberately opened up the flanks after the 77 minute mark by replacing the injured Højlund and left back Reguilón with Martial and Varane, a move that actually worked.
Manchester United Football Club
The defense had to be spread out, and that's when
Manchester United Football Club
The midfield has actually been rather scattered, giving Luton strikers and midfielders some opportunities to get stuck in, but Luton's lack of ability makes it difficult to form cuts or crosses, and then it's a bit of a mess itself

It's also hard to play well organized offense, and in the end
Manchester United Football Club
1-0 win at home to Luton
