Relegation-threatened Luton Town take on Manchester United at Kenilworth Road in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
The Hatters come into the game having suffered a 3-1 defeat to Sheffield United on match week 24. Despite dominating the Blades, Carlton Morris’ penalty was as good as it got for the Bedfordshire side.
Erik ten Hag’s side are enjoying a rich vein of form currently. The Red Devils have won their last four games in all competitions.
David Coote has been appointed as the Luton vs Manchester United referee. Simon Bennett and Tim Wood have been employed as Coote’s assistants.
Tom Bramall has been selected as the fourth official. VAR duties will be the responsibility of Jarred Gillett and Marc Perry.

Has David Coote Refereed Luton Or Man Utd This Season?
Luton Town fans will likely remember David Coote from the opening day of the season. Coote oversaw the Hatters first ever Premier League game against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Although they were trounced 4-1 at the Amex, Coote gave Rob Edwards’ side a late penalty which was dispatched by Carlton Morris.
The goal was Luton’s first in the top-flight since 1992 and their first-ever in the Premier League era. Mads Andersen and Issa Kabore were booked that day.
Coote is yet to officiate a league game involving Manchester United this season. However, Coote was the man in the middle as the Red Devils beat Newport County 4-2 in the FA Cup 4th round.
Prior to Sunday’s game, the best UK betting sites make Man Utd the 5/6 match favourites. The draw is available at 13/4 and Luton are priced at 10/3.
