After a hard-fought battle, Manchester United secured a narrow 1-0 victory against struggling Luton Town at Old Trafford, with the decisive goal credited to Victor Lindelof.
Lindelof's second-half strike emerged as the game-changer, taking advantage of a defensive lapse from Luton to convert a corner shortly before the hour mark.

The win is crucial for United's league standing, propelling them to sixth place, three points behind fourth-place Liverpool. However, the pressure on manager Erik ten Hag persists.
For Luton, the loss doesn't significantly impact their league position, as they maintain 17th place, just above the relegation zone, on goal difference.
