Rúben Amorim has made changes as Manchester United line up to face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Rúben Amorim’s men travel to North London on Saturday afternoon to face Tottenham Hotspur, hoping to extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League to five matches.
Manchester United’s recent performances have marked a clear upturn in form, with wins against Sunderland, Liverpool, and Brighton, as well as a draw with Nottingham Forest. Since their 3-0 defeat to Manchester City in mid-September, they’ve been beaten only once.
Tottenham, led by Thomas Frank, find themselves level on points with United but have endured a difficult spell at home. They’ve won just one of their five home league games — a 3-0 win over Burnley — and were beaten 1-0 by Chelsea last time out in North London.
The two sides met four times last season, including in the Europa League final, with Spurs victorious on every occasion. Amorim’s side will be eager to put that record to rest when they return to the capital this weekend.
The XIs have been confirmed below, with Amorim starting Harry Maguire as part of the defence and Amad in attack, while Academy star Jack Fletcher is on the bench following an injury to Kobbie Mainoo.
