Manchester United will welcome Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford this Saturday afternoon as they look to secure a good result at home in the Premier League. The Red Devils managed to earn an impressive 3-2 win over Fulham recently, which should give them a ton of confidence ahead of this game.
Michael Carrick will opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to keep changes to a minimum for this game. Hence, Bryan Mbeumo could once again get a chance to spearhead Man United’s attack in the final third.

Defence
Senne Lammens will operate in goal for the Mancunian giants after he conceded a couple of goals in his last appearance. Harry Maguire will play alongside Lisandro Martinez at the centre of the Man United backline as they look to keep a good shape on the defensive end of the field.
Diogo Dalot will try to prove his value as the right-back, while Luke Shaw hopes to catch the eye on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will try to go forward and join in on the attack at every chance they can get.
Leny Yoro will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield
Kobbie Mainoo and Casemiro will operate as the defensive anchormen for the Red Devils as they focus on dictating the tempo of the game at the centre of the park.
The gifted trio of Matheus Cunha, Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo will function just ahead of them as part of the Man United attack. All three of them need to combine well if they want to create enough chances for the Mancunian outfit to win this contest.

Benjamin Sesko will have to settle for a spot on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages if Man United are in need of a goal.
