    Fair play WHU, two good goals. You have to ask though, what identity do United have anymore? What is the game plan? What are they trying to achieve? There’s nothing there anymore, virtually pointless club. I pity any genuine fans they have left.

    Nick, Kent

    I've defended Ten Hag all the way, and I know we have injuries galore, but after all this time we still have no identity, no style of play, and always set up to defend rather than attack (even if our attack is poor anyway). Can't defend anymore, think he needs to go for his own sake not just ours.

    Mike

    Are United the worst team in the league right now? The bottom 3 are certainly showing more fight and cohesion right now.

    I like Mainoo. I think he is a really good football. He has got something about him.

    He's made a mistake and you've got to get round and say 'come on.'

    You've got to look after the boy. He will be devastated. But that for me, sums up Manchester United. You have to be accountable and you have to support one another.

    About six minutes plus stoppages left. West Ham are going above United in the table - unless the visitors can turn it around in the closing stages.

    Manchester United look so flat here. There is nothing about United at the moment that inspires you.

    It will be concerning for Ten Hag.

    All over, surely?

    A loss of concentration at the back and Mohammed Kudus is onto the ball in a flash.

    He's still got two United players in front of him but drills it low and hard into the net.

    That's what you call a clinical finish.

    When he played that ball into Paqueta he is on the right wing and then he goes past loads of players to get there.

    He takes a lovely first touch with his right. He got lucky. But he got lucky because he tried something.

    Luton's sole change from their abandoned game at Bournemouth is an obvious, yet sombre one with skipper Tom Lockyer convalescing.

    Luton XI: Kaminski, Mengi, Osho, Bell, Kabore, Barkley, Lokonga, Doughty, Townsend, Brown, Adebayo.

    Fabian Schar came off during that game but is fit enough to start. However, there's no such luck for Joelinton as he joins the Magpies' lengthy treatment table list. He's replaced by teenager Lewis Miley while Kieran Trippier comes in for Tino Livramento at right-back.

    Newcastle XI: Dubravka, Trippier, Lascelles, Schar, Burn, Longstaff, Guimaraes, Miley, Almiron, Wilson, Gordon.

    Subs: Karius, Dummett, Botman, Murphy, Krafth, Hall, Livramento, Ritchie, Isak.
