Man United XI vs Tottenham: Starting lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for Premier League today

Manchester United have Marcus Rashford back in their starting XI to face Tottenham tonight, with Christian Eriksen on the bench.

Erik ten Hag said the striker was suffering from a minor illness as he was benched for the draw at home to Newcastle, in which Cristiano Ronaldo was entrusted to start up top.

Rashford returns as Ronaldo drops to the bench, while Anthony Martial is once again ruled out having sat out the game with a back injury, so soon after overcoming an Achilles problem.

Ten Hag said on Tuesday: “Eriksen, we have to wait. He was just on the pitch. We have to see how he recovers from that and then we will make a decision tomorrow.”

Scott McTominay is available having served a one-match suspension, but Fred keeps his place alongside Casemiro in midfield.

Harry Maguire and Donny van de Beek are both making “good progress” and will return to first-team training this week, but Axel Tuanzebe, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Brandon Williams are once again unavailable.

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Fred; Antony, Fernandes, Sancho; Rashford.

Subs: Heaton, Lindelof, Malacia, Eriksen, McTominay, Pellistri, Elanga, Garnacho, Ronaldo
