Man Utd 0-0 Tottenham LIVE SCORE: Premier League clash on NOW as Son is RULED OUT while Rashford starts - latest updates
Rashford looking to rediscover form
It has been the one frustrating factor for Man Utd fans in recent seasons, the disappearance of Marcus Rashford.
He has shown his potential for many seasons in a Man Utd shirt but has gone missing for the last few seasons.
Many players thrive on confidence and Red Devils' fans hope that one good performance can spark the attacker back into form.
Spurs looking to avoid unwanted record
Tottenham have only failed to win any of their three opening Premier League matches once before in the 2019/20 campaign.
If they fail to win today, they will equal that record.
Spurs can win consecutive top-flight games for the first time since March at Old Trafford today.
Side needs some leadership
Mentality seems to be a big problem for Erik ten Hag's side.
Often heads drop and there seems to be a lack of effort on the pitch for periods of the game.
Many have questioned whether Bruno Fernandes was the right man to be made captain, now is the time for him to prove his doubters wrong and offer some leadership out on the pitch.
Chances win matches
Man Utd's big problem this season has been scoring goals.
In most of their games this campaign, they have created plenty of chances.
The big issue is that they have not taken then and been duly punished by their opponents in the process.
Erik ten Hag will be hoping they can address that this afternoon against Ange Postecoglou's side.
Two years of soul searching
Erik ten Hag has now had two full seasons as manager of Man Utd.
Despite this, it is hard to see his visions or tactics within this team most weeks.
Having spent the best part of £500m on signings during his tenure, nothing seems to be changing or improving.
While the boss will always take the heat for poor performances, fingers need to be pointed at the players.
There are a lot of big names at Old Trafford, on massive wages, who are just not stepping up to the plate all too often.
Another day, more threat of the axe
Ever since his arrival at Old Trafford, there seem to be constant questions marks over the future of Erik ten Hag.
Many feel he got a stay of execution last season off the back of an FA Cup final win over Man City.
Sitting eleventh in the table, one place below today’s visitors, Man Utd know things have to improve quickly if they are to have any hope of challenging for Europe.
Welcome to Man Utd vs Tottenham
The Red Devils welcome Tottenham to Old Trafford with both sides desperate for victory and the three points that would see them move into the top half of the Premier League table.
Erik ten Hag expects to have an identical squad available as the one that took on FC Twente in midweek with Leny Yoro, Tyrell Malacia, Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw all out injured.
The Dutchman is expected to bring Kobbie Mainoo back into the side, meaning that Manuel Ugarte could make way as he awaits his full Premier League debut.
Alejandro Garnacho is also expected to force his way into the starting line-up, all that remains to be seen is whether he replaces Marcus Rashford or Amad Diallo in the process.
Ange Postecoglou will be hoping that Son Heung-min is fit for today’s game as there were concerns over an injury he picked up in their win over Qarabag in midweek.
Son has created the most chances from open play in the Premier League this season and will be integral to any chances Spurs have of getting a rare win at Old Trafford.
Dargusin’s red card only applies to European games so the only expected absentees for the trip are likely to be Wilson Odobert and Richarlison.
