Manchester United will face Luton at the Old Trafford Stadium on Saturday night in November, in a match that has seen the Red Devils lose three of their four consecutive fixtures and two home defeats, making it worrying whether they will be able to bounce back this time around on their own turf.
Going back in time, the last time Manchester United lost at home to Luton was back in 1897, when China was still under the rule of the Qing Dynasty. If the Red Devils lose again this time, it will trigger a huge wave in the soccer world.
It's worth noting that the last time United beat Luton at home was back in September 1991, when the Red Devils won 5-0, and three years ago when they played Luton away from home in the EFL Cup, the Red Devils won 3-0 as well. However, given United's recent poor form, it remains to be seen whether they will be able to take down this promoted team.
The British media dug deep into the history and found that the last time Manchester United lost at home to Luton was also in 1897, with a score of 1-2. At that time, the name of Manchester United's club was still called Newton Heath, and it was not until 1902 that the name was officially changed to Manchester United.
