Manchester United confirm Rúben Amorim XI vs Tottenham as Casemiro starts (Premier League)

Manchester United have confirmed that Rúben Amorim has chosen to start Casemiro as his team line up to face Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Manchester United return to Premier League action on Sunday afternoon with a pivotal clash against Tottenham Hotspur in North London.

The two sides have already played out a thrilling contest at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season, with Spurs edging a dramatic 4-3 battle to knock Rúben Amorim’s men out of the Carabao Cup. Now, they meet again in the league, with both clubs desperate for a win to reignite their faltering campaigns.

It has been a season of frustration for both teams, who sit 13th and 14th in the table, with United holding a narrow two-point lead over their hosts. With expectations far greater than their current standing, this fixture carries huge significance in their efforts to turn things around.

For Amorim, Sunday is another test of his ability to impose his philosophy and build momentum at United. Meanwhile, Ange Postecoglou faces mounting pressure, with Spurs fans growing increasingly restless over their side’s struggles.

With both managers under the spotlight and neither side able to afford another setback, this promises to be an intense and fiercely contested showdown in North London.

The XIs have been confirmed below, with Amorim starting Casemiro as part of the midfield amid a depleted squad after a series of injuries this week.
