At the moment, Manchester United is like a stranded ship, unable to exert the speed and power it should have. The midweek UEFA Europa League defeat on the road has undoubtedly put more pressure on the team.
The team's star players such as Wahlani, Rashford, Anthony Mafioso and Mason Monte still seem to be finding their best form. Their low form affects the rest of the team, plus newcomers such as Soufun Iwlabot and Helen are still struggling to adapt to the pace of the Premier League, and star players such as Lisindo, Martinez and Kasmiru are plagued by injuries.
However, the performances of McTomini and General Fernandes have been the silver lining for United. While I think other areas of the midfield still need tweaking, Tannhäuser should probably prioritize the rest of the lineup now.
Is it time for an overhaul of the forward line? While Heron has been impressive in the UEFA Europa League, he has failed to deliver in the league, and Rashford has only scored one goal in all competitions. With the team looking for a change, perhaps a return of Chaton Sinzu for a spell, or Anthony Martial in the middle of the park as an arrowhead, or even partnering Helen in a double striker? United are in dire need of a change, but the question remains, will Tannhäuser choose to initiate the change, or will he allow the players to adjust themselves?
Luton drew last week's game against Liverpool, a result that surprised no one. As I mentioned before, Luton are starting to show attacking co-ordination and shooting ability. The young Ivars coach has led his team to remarkable success, and after a tough start, it seems that their poor style of play is starting to work, which may pose a threat to United this weekend.
Regardless of how United adjust their defense, Luton may be able to disrupt United's defense if they are able to quickly initiate long passes from the back. If this tactic works, the home fans at Otford will undoubtedly be unhappy with United's performance, which will undoubtedly further increase the pressure on the home team.
I see Buckley and Anzus Donsin as key players for Luton. Barkley has been a consistent performer in the last two games as a regular midfielder. The addition of Anzus Donsin adds stability to Luton's attacking line. Their wealth of experience and experience of playing in the Premier League will be important for the team to quickly adapt to the pace of the game and stabilize the lineup.
