Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United Preview and Team News
Tottenham Hotspur Team News
Tottenham Hotspur rank 14th in the Premier League, leaving fans doubting whether Ange Postecoglou should remain the head coach. The team lost 2-1 to Aston Villa last weekend, struggling defensively. However, any talk about the game would be incomplete without acknowledging the medical situation at the club.
The absence of Johnson, Romero, Udogie, Solanke, Vicario, Maddison, Van de Ven, Dragusin, Werner, and Odobert has been the biggest issue of the season. Postecoglou was, therefore, forced to use U20 players, such as Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall, and Mikey Moore.
Out to work 👊

Mathys Tel, Tottenham Hotspur’s major Winter signing, scored their only goal but is also a U20 player. Although fans acknowledge the injury crisis, some criticized the youngster for the team’s lack of intensity out of possession. Ange was quick to defend them, pointing out that Thursday’s Champions League matches contributed to the fatigue.
Tottenham Hotspur were eliminated in the Carabao Cup against Liverpool (4-0), meaning the only hope of any trophy this season is the Europa League.
Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup vs Manchester United (4-2-3-1): Kinsky; Spence, Gray, Danso, Porro; Bentancur, Bergvall; Tel, Kulusevski, Moore; Son.
Manchester United Team News
Manchester United sit 13th in the Premier League and have responded by signing Patrick Dorgu. Since his arrival, he’s been deployed on the right wing, a role in which he helped Rúben Amorim reach the next round of the FA Cup with a 2-1 win over Leicester.
This was new for Dorgu, who had previously played as a left-back. However, Amorim justified his decision by noting that the Danish player had experience in both roles.

Manchester confirmed that defender Lisandro Martinez had ruptured his ACL, which is likely to keep him out for the next few months. This is yet another setback for Rúbe’s squad, deprived of one of their best defenders. The head coach called it “a bad situation.”
The club failed to capitalize on their chances and lost 2-0 to Crystal Palace in their last Premier League match. Manchester struggled against rival striker Mateta, as his runs behind the defence and his partnership with Eze disoriented their own defence. This explains the 2-0 defeat.
In addition to Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, and Jonny Evans will be sidelined due to injury.
Manchester United predicted lineup vs Tottenham Hotspur (4-2-3-1): Onana; Mazraoui, Maguire, Yoro, Dalot; Fernandes, Ugarte; Dorgu, Mainoo, Diallo; Højlund.

This has been the worst season for both clubs in the past few years, as they respectively sit in 13th and 14th place. Despite Tottenham Hotspur hosting the game, Manchester United are likely to win the match due to the home side’s lengthy injury list.
Although the visitors recently lost Lisandro Martinez, their injury crisis is not as bad as their opponent’s. Tottenham will be forced to play with overworked U20 players. These are the reported tensions in the dressing room, according to The Athletic.

The hosts’ lack of defensive structure is the ideal set-up for Manchester to take advantage of. They can focus on attacking, especially with the arrival of Dorgu, who has played well for the squad until now.
Nonetheless, this encounter is expected to swing either way, depending on which team scores the first goal. Both clubs have glaring defensive issues, but Manchester are expected to take the three points.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United Betting Tip
- Pick: Bruno Fernandes to score
- Odds: 2.9 (22Bet)
Bruno Fernandes remains Manchester United’sprimaryn playmaker, thriving in counter-attacks. Against the home side, a team incapable of defending transitions, Bruno will have enough space to operate.
Due to the injury crisis, Tottenham had to deploy Lucas Bergvall as a defensive midfielder, though his natural role is more attacking. This is one of the loopholes Amorim could exploit with Bruno Fernandes.
