Manchester United have been urged to retain Cristiano Ronaldo in their starting XI against Tottenham to counter the tactical approach favoured by opposition manager Antonio Conte.
Ronaldo, 37, came off the bench to score a winner against Everton and was included from the start during the 0-0 draw with Newcastle that followed. However, the former Real Madrid and Juventus superstar was sacrificed in the final stages as United sought after three points.
Ultimately, though, Erik ten Hag and his players had to settle for a share of the spoils at Old Trafford as they return to the same venue on Wednesday night. Ronaldo was flanked by Antony and Jadon Sancho against Newcastle, but United have been nudged towards one change for their midweek fixture with the high-flying Londoners.
