Tottenham’s Key Star Who Humiliated Man United Ruled Out – Huge Boost for Amorim
Manchester United Gears Up for Crucial Premier League Clash Against Tottenham
Manchester United will return to Premier League action on Sunday afternoon with a trip to face fellow strugglers Tottenham.
With their league form faltering, United must focus on cup competitions, as winning the Europa League now appears to be their best chance of securing Champions League football next season.
United’s Premier League campaign has been disappointing, with 11 losses in 24 matches. New manager Ruben Amorim aspires to win the league at Old Trafford, but the squad he inherited has struggled. Currently, United sit 13th in the table, just two points ahead of Tottenham in 14th.
Amorim has had extra time on the training ground this week, with a nine-day break since their FA Cup victory over Leicester City. Following that match, the squad remained at Old Trafford for training, and Amorim will be hoping to see improvements against Spurs.
Previous Meetings Against Tottenham
This will be the third time United face Tottenham this season, with the Red Devils losing both previous encounters.
In December, Amorim’s side suffered a 4-3 defeat to Spurs, ending their Carabao Cup campaign. The manager criticized his team’s lack of physicality in that match and will aim to rectify that issue this time. United also struggled with set pieces, with goalkeeper Altay Bayindir conceding directly from a corner in the dying minutes. This time, Andre Onana is expected to start.
Earlier in the season, Erik ten Hag’s United lost 3-0 to Tottenham in September, a match marred by Bruno Fernandes’ controversial first-half red card. Spurs took the lead just three minutes into the game, with Micky van de Ven earning praise from Gary Neville for his role in the opening goal.
Team News and Key Absences
Tottenham may once again be without Van de Ven, who missed the Carabao Cup clash due to a hamstring issue. According to the Daily Mail, he is likely to remain sidelined. However, Spurs could welcome back Brennan Johnson, Guglielmo Vicario, James Maddison, Destiny Udogie, and Wilson Odobert. Their recent signing, Kevin Danso, could step in as Van de Ven’s replacement.
For United, Lisandro Martinez is out with a knee injury, while Luke Shaw and Mason Mount remain unavailable. Amorim will need his squad to step up as they look to break their losing streak against Spurs.
