Team news
Christian Eriksen missed the draw with Newcastle through illness and is a doubt for the visit of his former side.
Rashford should return to the XI and this will likely see Ronaldo drop to the substitutes bench.
Richarlison suffered an injury against Everton on Saturday and is ruled out here.
Spurs will likely deploy a 3-5-2 formation with Dejan Kulusevski unlikely to return.
Expected starting XI’s
Manchester United (4-3-3): De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Casmeiro, Eriksen, Fernandes; Anthony, Rashford, Sancho
Tottenham (3-5-2): Lloris; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Doherty, Bissouma, Hjojberg, Bentancur, Sessegnon; Kane, Son
