Tottenham Hotspur team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Manchester United

Sacked by the Red Devils in December 2018, the 55-year-old has enjoyed a perfect start at the North London club, winning three games in a row.

United, meanwhile, continue to struggle under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, managing just four wins from their opening 13 league games.
