The hole for Erik ten Hag to dig Manchester United out of continues to get deeper and deeper.
After a shocking, dramatic defeat on the road to FC Copenhagen in Champions League play, they return home to meet relegation-threatened Luton Town in Premier League action.
United were the victim of a number of contentious refereeing decisions in their midweek setback, with Marcus Rashford sent off before halftime amongst other talking points. Still, the swift and immediate manner in which they capitulated, conceding two goals in the minutes after Rashford's dismissal, will reflect extremely poorly on the squad and coaching staff.
While Luton Town represent a chance to right the ship against a promoted club struggling for points at the bottom of the table, they also threaten to be the next level of darkness into which the Red Devils could slip should they falter yet again.

Man United vs Luton Town projected lineups & team news
Erik ten Hag appeared set for a selection showdown with defender Raphael Varane, but the Frenchman could be forced into action anyways as Jonny Evans is out with an injury suffered early against FC Copenhagen.
Tyrell Malacia is expected back soon but isn't quite ready just yet, while Luke Shaw, Casemiro, and Lisandro Martinez will all be sidelined with injuries of varying degrees over the coming weeks and months.
There could be a chance for teenager Kobbie Mainoo to make his long-awaited return — he has been sidelined with injury since preseason but has been back in action for the youth teams.
Man United projected starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Onana (GK) — Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Maguire, Dalot — Eriksen, McTominay — Antony, Fernandes, Rashford — Hojlund.
Arsenal loanee Albert Lokonga has been sidelined until later this month with a thigh injury, while Reece Burke, Luke Berry, and Mads Andersen are also out with similar muscle problems of varying degrees.
Amari'i Bell is close to a return from his thigh injury that's had him sidelined the past month, and he's set for a fitness test ahead of this match. Left-back Dan Potts has yet to feature this season thanks to a "neural thing," according to Luton boss Rob Edwards.
Recent signing Andros Townsend earned his first start for the club against Liverpool and made it 61 minutes, appearing totally exhausted as he exited the match. He'll need to continue building towards a full 90 minutes, having only just recently returned from an ACL tear. Teden Mengi is in line to face his former club.
Luton Town projected starting lineup (3-4-3): Kaminski (GK) — Mengi, Lockyer, Osho — Kabore, Nakamba, Barkley, Doughty — Townsend, Morris, Ogbene.
Man United vs Luton Town betting odds & lines
Those wishing to make a prediction on this match have a tough decision to make: do you back a Manchester United team in utter crisis, or a relegation-threatened Luton Town looking for its second win of the season?
Our biggest clue comes in the form of Luton's recent 1-1 draw with Liverpool. A few things worked in their favor in that match, as Darwin Nunez missed a pair of sitters, Luton goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski stood on his head, and the minnows were playing at home.
Yet we learned this side will not be blinded by the spotlight of matches against bigger clubs, and with United in such disarray, who's to say they won't get a few bounces their way? Luton can pick up a result in this match at Old Trafford, where opponents haven't been quite as overcome with awe as they once were. This Man United spiral feels all too familiar, threatening to be another endless vortex only halted by a managerial change.
