Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has included Paul Pogba and Edinson Cavani in his Manchester United starting lineup to face Tottenham Hotspur this afternoon.

United will be keen to avenge the humiliating 6-1 defeat inflicted on them by Jose Mourinho’s side in October and would close the gap on runaway leaders Manchester City to 11 points with victory.

The Reds could also make another huge step in securing Champions League football for next season with three points in North London.

Solskjaer has made one change to the side that defeated Brighton in the previous Premier League game.
