Man United vs Tottenham

Man Utd face Tottenham in the Premier League at Old Trafford but they've had a disrupted build-up due to Covid concerns in the camp.

“We’re aware of [how big a game it is], we played a poor second half at the Etihad, but it doesn’t make sense to look back in anger, we have to show that aggression and anger in the pitch, it’s the perfect day, the perfect opponent to show a reaction," he said. There are five changes in total from the team that were beaten 4-1 by City six days ago. “We had a false positive test on David last night but we decided to have a second test, that was negative, then a PCR was negative and that’s why we can play him," Rangnick told MUTV of the disrupted build-up.

Hat-trick hero Cristiano Ronaldo fired Man United to a vital 3-2 victory in a breathless Premier League clash with top-four rivals Spurs.

“His training session was so good on Thursday that I decided to start him and not bring him from the bench. “In the second-half we didn’t get the nice passing, and the movement I think wasn’t there. “His training session was so good on Thursday that I decided to start him and not bring him from the bench. “Nothing beats the feeling of being back on the pitch and help the team with goals and effort. We showed the desire to win that game. We showed the desire to win that game.

Good afternoon and welcome to our live coverage of Manchester United versus Tottenham. This could be a hugely important game in the battle for a top four finish. Edinson Cavani is on the bench but United are without Bruno Fernandes and Scott McTominay. While the same outcome isn't expected today, Antonio Conte's side will be looking to build upon their impressive 5-0 thrashing of Everton. Tottenham have lacked consistency but a win this evening could be hugely significant in their quest for Champions League qualification. But the decisive goal came from Telles' corner where Tottenham took the novel approach of declining to mark one of the world's great players and allowing him a free header. United need to play with much better cohesion than they did against City, and there will be much focus on how Cristiano Ronaldo performs. Brentford won 2-0 against Burnley as Ivan Toney got a brace, with the second goal coming from the penalty spot. The hip injury, which had coincidentally worsened when Ronaldo heard that he wouldn't be required in the starting line-up for last weekend's derby game, had quickly healed after the trip to Portugal. Reguilon helpfully remained a step behind his team-mates, playing everyone onside and Sancho simply had to square for Ronaldo to restore United's lead. You suspected that wouldn't last and indeed when Kulusevski pulled the ball back for Son on 61 minutes, the Korean should have equalised. 'Cristiano and Messi are the two best players in the world in this era. So Old Trafford was willing to go with it and offer the adulation required. Not that many more for a 37 year old undoubtedly, so everyone present was determined to enjoy it as much as they could.
