Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are now expected to face Paulo Gazzaniga instead, with the stopper starting Spurs' game against the Serie A champions, with youngster Alfie Whiteman named on the bench for the game.
The Reds will be looking to maintain their unbeaten pre-season run when they take on their old foes on Thursday afternoon, with a Mason Greenwood goal handing United a 1-0 win over Inter Milan in their latest outing.
Games against Kristiansund and AC Milan follow for Solskjaer's side following the game against Spurs, as the Reds continue to prepare for their opening Premier League game against Chelsea on Sunday, August 11.
