The former One Direction star - a United fan - also dropped in to the Sky Sports studio ahead of the match.

"We see your Taylor Swift at the Superbowl, American pop culture, and we raise you Harry Styles at Kenilworth Road for Luton vs Man Utd," posted one X user.

Fans were amused to see him accepting a sweet from Luton Town legend Mick Harford, who he sat next to.

"Mick Harford giving Harry Styles a Trebor Extra Strong mint before kick off is the most Kenilworth Road thing I've ever seen," posted radio presenter Matt Dyson on X.

"Trebor sugar high could well be the next big hit song..." replied another poster.

Fans seemed surprised to see the 30-year-old star at Kenilworth Road, which has achieved cult status among fans due to the its 11,500 capacity and the quirky entrance to its away end, sandwiched between a row of terraced houses.

"Never thought I'd see Harry Styles setting foot in Kenilworth but here we are," posted one fan.

"Harry Styles at Kenilworth Road was not on my Sunday bingo card," posted another.

If Styles' visit to Luton has whetted his appetite, he may get the chance to return in May.

That is when the town hosts Radio 1's Big Weekend - and the headline acts are yet to be announced.
