Manchester United are back in action this evening as they host Tottenham Hotspur in a big clash at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils drew 0-0 with Newcastle United on Sunday afternoon and need to get back to winning ways tonight.

United go with David De Gea in goal tonight and it’s a back four in front of him as Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Luke Shaw.

Brazilian duo Fred and Casemiro start in midfield with Bruno Fernandes deployed as the number 10.

Antony starts on the right with Jadon Sancho on the left, leaving Marcus Rashford up top.

Cristiano Ronaldo drops to the bench alongside Tom Heaton, Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen, Scott McTominay, Facundo Pellistri, Anthony Elanga and Alejandro Garnacho.

Tottenham beat Everton 2-0 on Saturday evening and would love a repeat performance tonight.

Hugo Lloris starts in goal for Tottenham behind a back three of Cristian Romero, Eric Dier and Ben Davies.

Matt Doherty and Ivan Perisic line up as the wing backs tonight with Emerson Royal still unavailable.

Antonio Conte suggested that he wanted to play a 3-4-3 but it was all a big bluff as he has instead gone to a 3-5-2 with Yves Bissouma joining Rodrigo Bentancur and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in midfield.

That means Son Heung-min and Harry Kane will lead the line in attack given that Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski are both out.

Lucas Moura makes the Tottenham bench, joining Fraser Forster, Djed Spence, Japhet Tanganga, Davinson Sanchez, Clement Lenglet, Ryan Sessegnon, Oliver Skipp and Bryan Gil.
