Erik ten Hag has selected his Manchester United starting line-up for this evening’s Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils will be looking to get back to winning ways after being held to a frustrating goalless draw against Newcastle United at the Theatre of Dreams on Sunday.

The stalemate against Eddie Howe’s Magpies was Ten Hag’s first draw since becoming the twenty-time league champions’ fifth permanent manager since Sir Alex Ferguson retired nine-and-a-half years ago.

Here is Manchester United’s starting line-up against Tottenham Hotspur:

Starting XI: De Gea, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw, Casemiro, Fred, Fernandes, Antony, Sancho, Rashford.

Substitutes: Heaton, Lindelof, Malacia, McTominay, Eriksen, Pellistri, Elanga, Garnacho, Ronaldo.

The former Ajax manager has made one change to the side that drew against the Toon Army three days ago.

The big news is that Christian Eriksen is back on the bench to face his former club after missing Sunday’s draw against Newcastle through illness.

Scott McTominay, who missed the stalemate against the St James’ Park side through suspension, returns to the bench as Fred retains his place and will play alongside Casemiro who is starting his third consecutive Premier League game.

After not being fit enough to start against Newcastle, Marcus Rashford comes back into the starting line-up with Cristiano Ronaldo dropping to the bench.

Despite scoring a hat-trick against Tottenham in the same fixture seven months ago, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner won’t be starting back-to-back Premier League games for the first time under the Dutchman.

Diogo Dalot and captain Bruno Fernandes are both one booking away from missing Saturday’s trip to Stamford Bridge to face Graham Potter’s Chelsea.

Ten Hag’s men start the night in fifth place and can climb up to fourth if we secure a big win against Conte’s Spurs and Chelsea lose at Brentford.
