Manchester United will be looking for back-to-back wins in the Premier League when they travel to Tottenham this evening. Jadon Sancho has been tipped to start ahead of Alejandro Garnacho.

After last night’s 1-0 win over Wolves, Erik ten Hag will be demanding a better performance from his players who were lucky to secure three points in our Premier League opener.

Andre Onana made his competitive debut for the club in that 1-0 win and he will start between the sticks again for this one.

The full-back roles will be fulfilled by Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw, while Lisandro Martinez partners Raphael Varane at centre-back.

Despite a poor showing against Wolves, the midfield is likely to be the same trio of Casemiro, Mason Mount and Bruno Fernandes. Ten Hag needs to get them all more minutes together.

The front three will consist of Antony, Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford. That would mean Sancho comes in to replace Garnacho, who wasn’t the only attacking player to struggle on Monday night.

Predicted Manchester United XI vs Tottenham: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Martinez, Varane, Shaw; Casemiro, Mount, Fernandes; Antony, Sancho, Rashford.
