Both teams are in the unknown position of the lower half of the table, with United only winning three points this season and Spurs one more in what have not been impressive starts to the campaign. However, Tottenham have started to find their rhythm over the course of the last week, having eliminated Chelsea from the Carabao Cup before scoring seven goals at Maccabi Haifa to reach the group stage of the Europa League.
In contrast, much of United’s week has been dominated by talks about transfers, with the club set to sign free agent forward Edinson Cavani after appearing to accept defeat in its search for Jadon Sancho, with the transfer window scheduled to close tomorrow. However, attention is quickly returning to the Premier League, and Spurs are looking to get away from the top four rivals. Follow the live updates below.
Tottenham are heading to the field, they have great momentum with Heung-Min Son in shape to start today.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team has scored in 15 consecutive Premier League games, the longest streak in the division.
But they have let in many goals. They are on track to concede multiple goals in each of their first three games of a season in the top flight for the first time since 1972-73.

Perhaps some good news for Manchester United fans, when it comes to transfers in any case:

Manchester United are undefeated in the last three league games with Tottenham.
In fact they have only won more Premier League games against Everton than the 35 victories they have over Spurs.
The last 14 league matches between the teams at Old Trafford have not been drawn.

Manchester United need to win this game. The club is putting a lot of effort into its transfer business and many are not happy with the possible signing of Edinson Cavani over Jadon Sancho or Alex Telles.
The Red Devils were humiliated by Crystal Palace and sneaked into Brighton. If he loses to José Mourinho’s Tottenham, he will be just three points from the relegation zone for the international break.

TEAM NEWS
Manchester United made a switch for Tottenham’s visit, with Eric Bailly entering defense in place of Victor Lindelof.
Lindelof falls to the bench and that’s the only change from the league game in Brighton last week, where United won in controversial style.
Son Heung-min returns to Tottenham, despite coach José Mourinho, who is returning for a second time at Old Trafford, initially ruled out for a long time with a hamstring injury. Sánchez is the preferred defense alongside Eric Dier, which means there is no room in the starting lineup for Toby Alderweireld, while summer signing Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg starts alongside Mousa Sissoko and Tanguy Ndombele in midfield.
