Rashford And McTominay To Start, Pogba On The Bench: Manchester United’s Predicted XI To Face Spurs

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has an almost fully fit squad to choose from for their clash Tottenham tomorrow night.

In defence, he may opt to switch to a back four with Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire as the centre-back pairing. Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka will likely take up the fullback positions.

There are some big decisions to be made in midfield. Paul Pogba hasn’t played a competitive game since December so it is expected that he’ll start as a substitute against Spurs.


Fred and Scott McTominay could be used as the two holding players, with Bruno Fernandes playing the most advanced role.

Solskjaer opted for two up front in the games leading up to the lockdown, but the return of Marcus Rashford may lead to the United manager going with a three, with Martial playing centrally and Mason Greenwood on the right. Dan James may have to be satisfied with a place on the bench.

Manchester United’s Predicted XI To Face Tottenham:

De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, McTominay, Fernandes, Shaw, Greenwood, Martial, Rashford
