Erik ten Hag has named his starting line-up for Manchester United's Premier League tussle with Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford this evening, making just one alteration.
United, who beat Spurs 3-2 in last season's meeting in M16, will be looking to get back to winning ways following Sunday's goalless draw with Newcastle United. After a lacklustre first-half showing, United squandered two golden chances to scoop all three points late on, meaning they were left to rue what could have been.
It means that Ten Hag will be keen to see his side get back on the winning trail this evening and record a fourth successive win over Spurs. The Dutchman, surprisingly, has refused to tinker too much with his starting line-up, making just one change.

Marcus Rashford has come back into the side, meaning Cristiano Ronaldo has dropped out. It means that Fred has kept his place in midfield, despite Scott McTominay being back from suspension.
Meanwhile, Christian Eriksen, who has been deemed fit enough to start on the bench after missing the draw with Newcastle through illness, Anthony Elanga and Ronaldo are among the substitutes. Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Harry Maguire, Donny van de Beek and Anthony Martial, however, remain sidelined through injury.
Having made just one change to his side, Ten Hag will be hoping it has the desired impact as United look to get back to winning ways. It is Ten Hag's decision to keep Fred in the team that has attracted the most attention from United's supporters in the immediate aftermath of the team news being confirmed.
Below, MEN Sport has taken a close look at what some of United's supporters have had to say in response to Ten Hag's decision to award another start to the Brazilian, who struggled against Newcastle three days ago.
As you can see from the messages displayed in the tweets above, Ten Hag's decision to keep Fred in his plans has not gone down well with the supporters. They were unimpressed by his performance against Newcastle and he needs to raise his game this evening.
United starting line-up: De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Fred, Fernandes; Antony, Rashford, Sancho.
Substitutes: Heaton, Lindelof, Malacia, Eriksen, McTominay, Elanga, Pellistri, Garancho, Ronaldo.
