Manchester United
Immediately after the stalemate with Twente, Ten Hag confirmed that he expects to have an identical squad available for the visit of Tottenham, with all of Leny Yoro (foot), Tyrell Malacia (knee), Victor Lindelof (toe) and Luke Shaw (calf) missing out once more.
The Dutchman should not shy away from a couple of alterations for the visit of Spurs, as a recall for Kobbie Mainoo in the middle is certainly in order, meaning that Manuel Ugarte could make way as he awaits his full Premier League debut.
Alejandro Garnacho ought to force his way back into the starting lineup too, although whether he replaces Marcus Rashford or Amad Diallo is anybody's guess.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot; Eriksen, Mainoo; Diallo, Fernandes, Garnacho; Zirkzee
Tottenham
Speaking of attacking uncertainties, Tottenham suffered an alarming scare over captain Son Heung-min during the win over Qarabag on Thursday night, although Postecoglou stressed after the game that he does not believe the South Korean is nursing a serious problem.
No player has created more chances from open play than Son (13) in the 2024-25 Premier League season, and the Spurs skipper should be given the all-clear to face Man United, whom he also boasts four goals and one assist against from his last seven appearances.
Dragusin's red card and subsequent suspension only applies to European games too, so Wilson Odobert (thigh) and Richarlison (calf) are the Lilywhites' only two guaranteed absentees for the trip to Manchester.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Kulusevski, Bentancur, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Son
Prediction: Manchester United 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur
