Wednesday night's matchup between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League will be a challenging one for both teams.
United is attempting to build momentum in the Premier League following the gruesome battering they received at the hands of their neighbors in Manchester City. However, they hit yet another speed bump on the weekend when they played out a goalless stalemate with Newcastle, a match in which they had the opportunities to win. The match against Spurs will kick off a challenging week for Erik ten Hag's team, which will continue its challenging slate with a trip to Chelsea on Saturday.
Anthony Martial is currently back in training but is not yet well enough to play for Ten Hag. As a result, Ten Hag will continue to be without Anthony Martial. United will not decide until Wednesday whether or not Christian Eriksen will be ready to participate in the match due to an illness; the team is currently in a race against the clock to have him available.
While Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Donny van de Beek are still out with injuries, it is anticipated that they will all be able to resume training by the end of this week.
There is no reason to make any changes in the defense, but Eriksen is one of United's most important players, and the team will need him to compete against his former club. Casemiro is the natural counterbalance to Tottenham's midfield axis and has grown as a player as a result of the consistent rhythm of starting games.
Marcus Rashford needs to replace Jadon Sancho after Sancho's lackluster performance against Newcastle. Rashford should take Sancho's spot in the starting lineup. There is an argument to be made for starting either of them instead of Cristiano Ronaldo, but Cristiano Ronaldo is the only exceptional goalscorer in the squad, and he will need to start producing results sooner or later.
