Luton to face Manchester United

Blue Square Premier-bound Luton will meet a Manchester United XI in a pre-season friendly.

The match will mark the launch of a new initiative by supporters to raise money for the club's youth set-up

The game, United's first at Kenilworth Road since 1995, will be played on Tuesday, 28 July at 1945 BST.

Town official Gregg Broughton told the club website: "The money we're looking to raise will help make up the deficit following our relegation."

The youth development officer continued: "I'd like to thank everybody involved in kick-starting the project and for their support for making it happen.

"A similar project was successful at Norwich City and we hope our initiative is received as well as it was at Carrow Road.

"It is an exciting time for everyone at Kenilworth Road and it will go a long way to securing the long-term future of the football club."
