Man Utd v Spurs: TV info, team news & more
TEAM NEWS
United were without three first-team players for Sunday’s dramatic late win over Fulham, with Mason Mount joining the list of absentees after suffering a knock during training.
Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu is out, following his withdrawal at Arsenal, while Matthijs de Ligt hasn’t featured since November due to a back complaint. Carrick did have Joshua Zirkzee back in the matchday squad against the Cottages, after the Dutchman’s two-game absence.
Spurs will hope to have first-choice defensive pairing Sergio Romero and Micky van de Ven available, especially as Kevin Danso has been ruled out for a while with a toe injury.
Van de Ven missed the 2-2 draw with Manchester City, while Romero was replaced at half-time through illness, but Frank expects both players to be back for this contest.
Dominic Solanke (ankle) and Djed Spence (calf) seem to be the main concerns for the Lilywhites, as their other eight absentees have longer-term issues.
Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison (both knee) haven’t played at all this term, while Rodrigo Bentancur, Lucas Bergvall, Ben Davies, Mohammed Kudus, Pedro Porro and Richarlison were all added to the casualty list during a difficult January.
Conor Gallagher’s arrival and the return of Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr from AFCON have eased Frank’s issues in midfield a little, while Souza has come in to provide competition for Destiny Udogie at left-back.
