Starting lineup for Manchester United against Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford revealed
Manchester United have revealed their starting lineup to take on Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on 19 October in the Premier League. Currently sitting fifth in the table, the Red Devils take on third-place Spurs.
Tottenham have lost just once this season in the league, and that was against their North London rivals Arsenal. On the other hand, the Old Trafford side beat the Gunner 3-1 at home. And we are the only side in the 2022/23 campaign to take points away from Mikel Arteta’s team.
Man United are coming off an underwhelming 0-0 draw against Newcastle United. On the other hand, Spurs beat Everton 2-0 in their previous fixture, getting off to their best start in the PL era. And here’s the team that will start for Erik ten Hag, via the club’s Twitter, against the North London side:
United have their last three fixtures in the English top flight against Tottenham. In the past meeting between the two sides, Cristiano Ronaldo came up trumps for the Red Devils.
The Portuguese forward, who recently scored his 700th club career goal, hit a hattrick against Conte’s team to give the Old Trafford side a 3-2 victory. But Marcus Rashford is preferred over him this time around.
Luke Shaw had lost his place in the starting XI after the first two games of the season. However, the 27-year-old has started over Tyrell Malacia in the last two league fixtures. And the left-back is in the lineup once again.
The partnership of Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez started once again against Newcastle and they will continue at Old Trafford today. The 2018 French World Cup winner had missed a few fixtures after picking up an injury against Manchester City.
Diogo Dalot has been a constant in the United lineup. The 23-year-old has started in all of our previous matches. There is no respite for him this time around.
