Manchester United XI vs Tottenham: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup, latest injuries for Premier League return

The biggest question Manchester United fans are asking is how Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes will line up together, with a trip to Tottenham the first opportunity.

Pogba has looked sharp in training and practice matches since recovering from ankle surgery and is ready to play from the start on Friday.

But with Fred and Nemanja Matic performing so impressively before lockdown, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may opt to stick with that pair behind Fernandes.

The United manager has liked to play with split strikers for big games, which would give him the opportunity to go with a diamond in midfield, with Pogba on the left.

There is also a question over Scott McTominay, who returned from knee ligament damage just before lockdown. Marcus Rashford - back from a back injury - is also ready to start.
