United were disappointing in losing 3-1 at home to Crystal Palace on Saturday and Solskjaer has rung the changes for the Carabao Cup third-round tie at Kenilworth Road .
Only captain Harry Maguire survives from the Old Trafford horror show and Solskjaer wants to see his side better in all departments against a side who have won all four of their competitive games this season .
Asked what he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Championship outfit , Solskjaer said : “ A better performance of course , we want to see our identity and style of football , quicker on the ball , quicker to get to the ball , everything change really . ''
Among the 10 changes is a competitive debut for Dean Henderson , the academy graduate making his first start for the club nine years and one month after joining .
The 23-year-old will see this as a chance to lay down a challenge to David de Gea and Solskjaer knows how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ club .
`` He ’ s been waiting patiently for so long , he ’ s very driven , he ’ s had a great desire to play for Man United in goal and finally now he has his first competitive game for us , '' he told MUTV .
Luton might be flying high in the Championship but their Kenilworth Road home is one of English football 's throwback stadiums , not that Solskjaer believes that will affect his side .

I came down here with the reserves in 2009 or 2010 , with fans it 's a difference place , you ’ d love fans to be here now , but the boys will be fine , '' he said .

One unpaid bill shows an order of 12 pints of Heineken , which she says was ordered by three men over the course of a few hours @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are all working really hard to provide a safe service to everyone which can be challenging at times especially when staff levels are low .

A Wigan pub has made a public appeal for customers to cough up for unpaid bills, after a spate of people leaving without settling up.
The Old Boathouse in Astley said it's struggling to deal with a handful of 'disrespectful' customers since it reopened in July.
Its landlady said they've had guests ignoring safety measures and being rude to staff, topped off with the walk-outs from last weekend.
A series of photos of receipts were shared on the pub's Facebook page this morning, each with 'not paid' or 'walk out' written across them.
The bills show orders up to £50.40 that were never paid for, with the restaurant urging people to 'be fair and work together'.
The post urged anyone who recognises the bills to call up and make payment now.
Landlady Deborah Guest says she's already had one customer come forward to apologise for a 'genuine mistake' and offer to pay up.
One unpaid bill shows an order of 12 pints of Heineken, which she says was ordered by three men over the course of a few hours.

The problem is most prevalent in the canalside pub's outdoor space, which includes some sheltered and heated picnic benches.
Deborah said: "It's happened a lot since we reopened - those photos are just from this weekend.
"We're trying to do table service and to keep people happy, but some are just taking the mickey.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-09-23--How many Liverpool FC players would get into the Man City team

Manchester City are up against it already this season , with seven players missing their opening day win at Wolves .
And the weakened squad led one TV pundit to claim that , out of the 11 who started at Molineux , only one would break into the Liverpool team .
Alarming as that might be for Blues fans , the pundit had a fair point – he singled out Kevin De Bruyne , who would be first choice in any team on the planet at the moment .
He did not qualify his statement by mentioning that City do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after positive Covid-19 tests , but it is perhaps slightly worrying for City that the Merseysiders have a definite edge in man-for-man comparisons .
Liverpool ’ s better injury record – with no notable absences for their main men Virgil Van Dijk , Mo Salah , Sadio Mane , and Roberto Firmino in the past two years – was a major factor in their title win last season and near-miss the year before .
City ’ s deeper squad would redress the balance if Liverpool were to suffer injury problems .
But , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to choose , who would make a combined City-Liverpool XI ?
A choice that Brazil head coach Tite has to make for every game , and there is little between them .
Alisson is probably the better shot-stopper , but Ederson ’ s passing is incredible at times .
Tite has dropped Ederson from his squad for next month ’ s World Cup qualifiers so the choice has to be Alisson .
Trent Alexander-Arnold is exceptional , and getting better , with some tipping him to end up as a midfield playmaker .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ some tricky moments last season has been impressive – pace , power and experience give Walker a slight edge .
Virgil Van Dijk is probably the best on the planet , but out of the rest , Aymeric Laporte stands out .
That would be a remarkable partnership .
Joel Gomez is fulfilling big potential , but right now City have no other contenders which is worrying for the Blues .
City have the most expensive left back on the planet in Ben Mendy , but his injury record and defensive shortcomings mean @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a clear choice .
Hard to compare , as it is not certain who Liverpool will play here this season , especially with Thiago Alcantara signing , and Fabinho looking very good .
New boy Thiago has an edge on his Spain teammate Rodri , who was good but not great in his debut season , while Fabinho is also a fair shout .
This depends on which system you play .
In Liverpool ’ s high-intensity , longer-passing style Jordan Henderson gets the nod , but Ilkay Gundogan is hugely under-rated and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ City ’ s build-up .
Liverpool don ’ t really play an attacking midfielder , although Thiago and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could fill the role .
But whether it ’ s as number ten or deeper , Kevin De Bruyne is the only choice for the third midfield slot .
Mo Salah has been incredible in that role since signing for Liverpool , while City have oscillated between Bernardo Silva , Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez , all fine players but all at a level below the Egyptian over the last two seasons .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ outstanding , but so has Raheem Sterling .
Boil it down to pure stats over two seasons and Sterling is the man – a staggering 56 goals and 28 assists to Mane ’ s 48 goals and 17 assists .
Roberto Firmino is a clever player from deep , and Gabriel Jesus is a livewire who is improving all the time .
But Firmino has 78 goals in his five Liverpool seasons – in the same time Sergio Aguero has bagged a phenomenal 147 , almost twice as many !

Alarming as that might be for Blues fans, the pundit had a fair point – he singled out Kevin De Bruyne, who would be first choice in any team on the planet at the moment.
He did not qualify his statement by mentioning that City do have players out injured, or self-isolating after positive Covid-19 tests, but it is perhaps slightly worrying for City that the Merseysiders have a definite edge in man-for-man comparisons.
Liverpool’s better injury record – with no notable absences for their main men Virgil Van Dijk, Mo Salah, Sadio Mane, and Roberto Firmino in the past two years – was a major factor in their title win last season and near-miss the year before.
City’s deeper squad would redress the balance if Liverpool were to suffer injury problems.
But, with two fully fit squads from which to choose, who would make a combined City-Liverpool XI?
Goalkeeper
A choice that Brazil head coach Tite has to make for every game, and there is little between them. Alisson is probably the better shot-stopper, but Ederson’s passing is incredible at times. Tite has dropped Ederson from his squad for next month’s World Cup qualifiers so the choice has to be Alisson .
Right back
Trent Alexander-Arnold is exceptional, and getting better, with some tipping him to end up as a midfield playmaker. But Kyle Walker’s resurgence after some tricky moments last season has been impressive – pace, power and experience give Walker a slight edge.
Centre backs
Virgil Van Dijk is probably the best on the planet, but out of the rest, Aymeric Laporte stands out. That would be a remarkable partnership. Joel Gomez is fulfilling big potential, but right now City have no other contenders which is worrying for the Blues.
Left back
City have the most expensive left back on the planet in Ben Mendy, but his injury record and defensive shortcomings mean that bargain Liverpool buy Andy Robertson is a clear choice.
Holding midfielder
Hard to compare, as it is not certain who Liverpool will play here this season, especially with Thiago Alcantara signing, and Fabinho looking very good. New boy Thiago has an edge on his Spain teammate Rodri, who was good but not great in his debut season, while Fabinho is also a fair shout.
Central midfielder
This depends on which system you play. In Liverpool’s high-intensity, longer-passing style Jordan Henderson gets the nod, but Ilkay Gundogan is hugely under-rated and his intelligent build-up is often key to City’s build-up.
Third midfielder
Liverpool don’t really play an attacking midfielder, although Thiago and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could fill the role. But whether it’s as number ten or deeper, Kevin De Bruyne is the only choice for the third midfield slot.
Right wing
Mo Salah has been incredible in that role since signing for Liverpool, while City have oscillated between Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez, all fine players but all at a level below the Egyptian over the last two seasons.
Left wing
Tough choice. Sadio Mane has been outstanding, but so has Raheem Sterling . Boil it down to pure stats over two seasons and Sterling is the man – a staggering 56 goals and 28 assists to Mane’s 48 goals and 17 assists.
Striker
Roberto Firmino is a clever player from deep, and Gabriel Jesus is a livewire who is improving all the time. But Firmino has 78 goals in his five Liverpool seasons – in the same time Sergio Aguero has bagged a phenomenal 147, almost twice as many!

Informers are also encouraged to take photographs and videos of the crime taking place if it is safe to do so.
The council is launching the hotline after recording a huge increase in the number of fly-tipping incidents over the last six months
The council’s Environmental Improvement team have been using CCTV cameras to catch culprits and the hotline is seen as a major boost to the campaign.
Since September 1 alone, the council has issued more than 90 fixed penalty charges resulting in hundreds of pounds in fines.
Two cases of fly-tipping were also taken to the magistrates’ court in that time and there are a further 62 cases currently under investigation.
Coun Stephen Adshead, Trafford council’s executive member for the environment, said: “Our Environmental Improvement team works tirelessly week in week out in a bid to eradicate fly-tipping in Trafford.
“Crimes of this nature will not be tolerated in any part of the borough – and therefore I welcome this additional support that will help deter offenders from blighting our streets and neighbourhoods with their rubbish.

“If you witness a fly-tipping incident, do not turn a blind eye, call the tip-off line.
“These environmental law-breakers must be stopped and held accountable for their actions. Every call will be taken seriously and acted upon immediately.”
The tip-off hotline and email flytipping@trafford.gov.uk are only to be used for reporting fly-tippers where members of the public witness people fly-tipping.
If residents want to report dumped rubbish they should call 03330035865.


themanchestereveningnews--2020-09-23--Plastic face visors 'ineffective' at trapping aerosols, researchers find

Plastic face visors are almost totally ineffective at trapping microscopic respiratory aerosols , researchers have found .
Researchers in Japan used Fugaku , the fastest supercomputer in the world , to carry out a simulation .
It found that almost 100 per cent of airborne droplets of less than 5 micrometres in size escaped through plastic visors .
A micrometre is tiny - and is equivalent to a millionth of a metre .
And about half of larger droplets measuring 50 micrometres found their way into the air , according to Riken , a research instituted in Kobe , backed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ countries have eased lockdowns to open up their economies , face shields are becoming common in sectors that emphasise contact with the public , such as in retail and beauty salons and hairdressers .
Makoto Tsubokura , team leader at Riken ’ s centre for computational science , said the simulation combined air flow with the reproduction of tens of thousand of droplets of different sizes , from under 1 micrometre to several hundred micrometres .
He urged against wearing face visors as an alternative to masks .
He told the Guardian : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ simulation , unfortunately the effectiveness of face guards in preventing droplets from spreading from an infected person ’ s mouth is limited compared with masks . ''
“ This is especially true for small droplets of less than 20 micrometres , ” he said , adding that all of the much smaller aerosol particles were found to escape through the gap between the face and the face shield .
`` At the same time , it somehow works for the droplets larger than 50 micrometres.
” For those people who can not wear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or small children , they can wear face shields as an alternative - but outdoors or in properly ventilated indoor settings .
The supercomputer recently found that face masks made from non-woven fabric are more effective at blocking the spread of coronavirus via airborne droplets , as opposed to those made from cotton and polyester .

Plastic face visors are almost totally ineffective at trapping microscopic respiratory aerosols, researchers have found.
Researchers in Japan used Fugaku, the fastest supercomputer in the world, to carry out a simulation.
The results were disappointing.
It found that almost 100 per cent of airborne droplets of less than 5 micrometres in size escaped through plastic visors.
A micrometre is tiny - and is equivalent to a millionth of a metre.
And about half of larger droplets measuring 50 micrometres found their way into the air, according to Riken, a research instituted in Kobe, backed by the Japanese government.
As some countries have eased lockdowns to open up their economies, face shields are becoming common in sectors that emphasise contact with the public, such as in retail and beauty salons and hairdressers.
Makoto Tsubokura, team leader at Riken’s centre for computational science, said the simulation combined air flow with the reproduction of tens of thousand of droplets of different sizes, from under 1 micrometre to several hundred micrometres.
He urged against wearing face visors as an alternative to masks.
He told the Guardian: “Judging from the results of the simulation, unfortunately the effectiveness of face guards in preventing droplets from spreading from an infected person’s mouth is limited compared with masks."
“This is especially true for small droplets of less than 20 micrometres,” he said, adding that all of the much smaller aerosol particles were found to escape through the gap between the face and the face shield.
"At the same time, it somehow works for the droplets larger than 50 micrometres.”
For those people who cannot wear masks, due to underlying respiratory conditions or small children, they can wear face shields as an alternative - but outdoors or in properly ventilated indoor settings.
The supercomputer recently found that face masks made from non-woven fabric are more effective at blocking the spread of coronavirus via airborne droplets, as opposed to those made from cotton and polyester.

A group of paranormal investigators claim they have managed to capture photographs of what they believe is the spirit of one of history 's lost monarchs .
The team at Retford Ghost Hunters have released images showing what they say is one of their members coming face-to-face with the apparition of the White Lady of Rufford who , according to legend , is believed to be the spirit of ill-fated Arbella Stuart .
The renowned spectre is said to wander the halls of the historic Rufford Abbey in Sherwood Forest , Notts following her untimely death in the 17th century @ @ @ @ @ @ @ granddaughter of Henry VII and Mary Queen of Scots ' niece .
It is said she was destined to take place as queen after Elizabeth I before she found herself at the centre of a political wrangling which saw her banished to the Tower of London .
Instead of taking the throne , she died of starvation while imprisoned in 1615 .
The investigators now believe the ghostly figure shown in the photos is the spirit of the lost queen .
They said at the time , they were unaware of the history @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the White Lady of Rufford .
Leader of the group , Rachel Parsons said : `` I could n't believe it when I looked up the history of the place the next day .
`` The first thing that came up was the White Lady Of Rufford .
She 's been spotted there quite a few times by all accounts .
`` It was about 11pm inside the ruins when we all heard a woman 's cough so I ran towards the direction of it with my torch .
I then sensed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and I said to the others : 'She 's standing right in front of me ' .
`` At that point I told our viewers watching the live stream on Facebook to get screenshotting because I knew she was there .
It was only when we got back home and a viewer sent the screen grab that I discovered how close I was to her .

“ He looks to me to be only in his 30s or 40s but it was a hard life for monks - there was lots of disease and they died young.

She described the findings as `` fantastic evidence '' .
She added : “ I grew up in a very religious family and so this kind of thing wasn ’ t encouraged but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that there may be an afterlife .
