Rasmus Hojlund secured an early double for Manchester United, marking their fourth consecutive Premier League victory. However, despite Hojlund's goals within the opening seven minutes, including a composed finish just 35 seconds into the game, a resilient Luton Town made it a challenging afternoon for Erik ten Hag's team at Kenilworth Road.
In the face of Hojlund's fine form, Luton Town responded with Carlton Morris's brave header, narrowing the lead. Despite opportunities, including a chance for Alejandro Garnacho in the second half, United couldn't decisively seal the win.
The match concluded with United hanging on as Ross Barkley hit the bar in stoppage time. Nonetheless, this victory narrows the gap on the Premier League's top four, allowing Ten Hag's side to capitalize on their resurgent form.
