Christian Eriksen proving his fitness to Erik ten Hag could have an impact on who the Manchester United manager selects against Tottenham on Wednesday night (8.15pm).
After being held to a goalless draw by Newcastle at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, United welcome their high-flying opponents to the same venue knowing that three points would move them closer to the Champions League places. But can Ten Hag and his men sentence the Londoners to a second defeat this season?
Eriksen, 30, signed for United on a free transfer this summer and has promptly become a mainstay in the team. But he might yet have to settle for a place in the stands against his former club.
