Manchester United welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Old Trafford on Saturday, October 10, 2026, hoping to end their inconsistent start to the Premier League season. Michael Carrick’s side have collected just five points from their opening five league matches and sit 12th in the table.
United are winless in their last four domestic matches, including a disappointing EFL Cup defeat to Brighton and a 1-1 draw against Fulham. Goalkeeper Senne Lammens impressed during the Fulham encounter, helping United remain competitive before Matheus Cunha’s deflected 89th-minute equaliser rescued a point.
Tottenham arrive in even worse league form, sitting bottom after failing to win any of their opening five matches. Roberto De Zerbi’s men suffered a 3-2 home defeat to Aston Villa despite scoring twice late in the game. Both teams desperately need three points, making Saturday’s encounter crucial for their respective campaigns.
Team News
Manchester United will be without Benjamin Sesko, Patrick Dorgu, Noussair Mazraoui, Manuel Ugarte, Matthijs de Ligt and Tom Heaton because of injuries. Amad Diallo could return after resuming training, while Kobbie Mainoo’s availability remains uncertain.
Tottenham are missing Dejan Kulusevski, Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert, Mykhaylo Mudryk and Pedro Porro. Jan Paul van Hecke is also a doubt, while Micky van de Ven is available after recovering from a finger injury.
