Erik ten Hag has named his Manchester United team to face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

Marcus Rashford returns to the starting side after being dropped to the bench for the goalless draw at Crystal Palace last weekend, in a decision that was criticised following the stalemate at Selhurst Park.

Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez continue in partnership at centre-back with Harry Maguire not in the squad. The England international is ruled out due to a knock sustained in training.

In midfield, Manuel Ugarte will start alongside Kobbie Mainoo in the deeper roles with Bruno Fernandes advanced in support of Joshua Zirkzee, who retains his place. Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount made their returns from injury during the Europa League with FC Twente on Thursday night and begin on the bench once again.
