Manchester United host Tottenham in a highly anticipated Premier League clash at Old Trafford, with both sides set to secure a crucial win.
United have managed just two wins in their first five league matches, while Spurs are still searching for their first away victory this season.
United’s Rasmus Højlund is set to start as Erik ten Hag looks to rejuvenate his team following recent struggles.
Ten Hag’s side have been disorganized against top opposition, while Tottenham, under Ange Postecoglou, have struggled to finish their chances.
Tottenham’s Heung-min Son, a slight injury concern, is expected to feature, providing a boost also, to the visitors.
Postecoglou acknowledged the pressure on Ten Hag but praised the United boss, saying, “He’s done really well in a tough job, winning two trophies.”
With Spurs missing key players like Richarlison, Postecoglou will rely on James Maddison and new signing Dominic Solanke to provide the attacking spark.
For United, Marcus Rashford is likely to lead the attack, while Manuel Ugarte could make his first start in midfield.
Kickoff is set for 4:30 pm on Sunday (today), September 29.
