Manchester United hosts Tottenham Hotspur in what is the headliner fixture of the next Premier League weekend. Let’s run through the team fitness situation. Once again, the returns of Victor Lindelof (ankle/foot) and Luke Shaw (calf) are delayed. Or their situations are/were much more serious than the club was leading on. The return of Tyrell Malacia (knee) is also once again delayed.
We won’t see any of the trio feature until well into October.

Finally, Leny Yoro (foot) remains out for the long team. So now, we’ll shift over to Spurs. Tottenham Talisman Heung Min-Son faces a late fitness test, as he’s been battling some fatigue lately. Said manager Ange Postecoglu: “He said he felt a bit tired, but I haven’t spoken to him or the medical team yet.” Otherwise, nothing else has really changed.
Wilson Odobert (thigh) and Richarlison (calf/shin/heel) remain out.
