Manchester United vs Spurs – Predicted lineup and team news

Manchester United host Tottenham at Old Trafford on Saturday while aiming for their fourth consecutive Premier League victory.

The Red Devils have moved into fourth place following a transformative period under Michael Carrick. Confidence is high after a dramatic 3–2 win over Fulham, where Benjamin Šeško scored a stoppage-time winner. United remain the only top-flight side yet to lose a game in 2026. They now seek to break a poor recent run against Spurs, having failed to win any of their last eight meetings.

Manchester United Team News

Michael Carrick manages a squad that is beginning to find its rhythm despite key defensive absences. Notably, Patrick Dorgu is out for over two months with a serious hamstring injury. Mattheus Cunha is expected to continue on the left flank after scoring in successive games. Consequently, Carrick may reward Šeško with a start, potentially shifting Bryan Mbeumo into a wider role to accommodate the Slovenian.

Senne Lammens will start in goal behind a back four led by Lisandro Martínez. In midfield, the experienced Casemiro will partner Kobbie Mainoo, who has become a staple under Carrick. Bruno Fernandes remains the team’s primary creative hub, currently leading the Premier League assist charts. United’s tactical flexibility has been key; they have won seven of nine games this season when surrendering the majority of possession.
