Manchester United are set to commence their League/EFL/Carabao Cup campaign with a visit to Luton Town FC. Ahead of the cup clash, all the talk surrounding United pertains to their moribund summer transfer window, and just how depleted the squad looked in a shocking home less to Crystal Palace on Saturday.
United got their Premier League season started off on the wrong foot, and the shockingly disastrous showing against Palace has people questioning the overall talent and depth of the roster.
Best to just look ahead, and move on as fast as possible to a match that sees United heavily favored. If you place bet, like you would at zodiac casino online, for this game you’ll see United typically back to win 1/4. A draw can be had at 5/1 with a Luton Town victory priced at 11/1. Kickoff is at 8:15 pm on Tuesday, September 22 at Kenilworth Road.
United, despite all their riches and resources, have only made one signing this transfer window, midfielder Donny van De Beek from Ajax.
While he’s quality, and showed it by scoring on Saturday, the team only has 15 more days to get any other deals over the line, and the rumor mill is all quiet on the western front right now.
These storylines have greatly overshadowed any potential buzz for this domestic cup game tomorrow night.

As with all League Cup clashes, United will do some heavy squad rotation for this ont. With a lack of healthy and available options in central defense, team captain Harry Maguire should likely stay in the team.
Another first team regular, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, will probably get a starting nod as well.
With Scott McTominay seeing action in the loss to Crystal Palace, we should expect Nemanja Matic to come into the side here. Victor Lindelof, who was absolutely atrocious on Saturday, should take a seat here with Eric Bailly taking his place.
Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes will definitely not be risked in a League Cup clash while Dean Henderson should get the call, instead of the No. 1 David de Gea, in between the sticks.

Henderson; Wan-Bissaka, Bailly, Maguire, Williams; Matic, Fred; James, Van de Beek, Greenwood; Ighalo
