Manchester United face Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, in the penultimate match of gameweek six in the Premier League.

Erik ten Hag’s side will look to climb above Spurs in the Premier League table after a mixed start to the season for both sides, with United having drawn 0-0 to Crystal Palace last weekend. Spurs beat Brentford 3-1 in a commanding performance last Saturday, though losses to both Newcastle and Arsenal demonstrated that Ange Postecoglou’s side can be every bit as frustrating as they are talented.

The two sides know that three points today could prove pivotal in the race for top four come the end of the season, and with both capable of either brilliant or frustrating displays, it promises to be an intriguing match in Manchester, particularly with Ten Hag seeming to be continuously under pressure. Follow all the latest build-up and match updates below:

84’ – Man United 0-3 Spurs

Amad Diallo comes on for Mount, who plays less than a half after coming on as sub himself.

United’s upcoming games are away to Porto and Villa, home to Brentford then away to Fenerbahce and West Ham. Not a routine run, as their four-match unbeaten stretch comes to an end here.

They’ll also drop down a place in the table on goal difference if it stays 3-0.

81’ – Man United 0-3 Spurs

Dragusin comes on for Spurs and with his first challenge he catches Mount in the head – he’s bleeding and needs treatment. Off the pitch he goes.

GOAL! 77’ – Man United 0-3 Spurs

That’s that! United’s best period ends in them conceding a third – a corner from the left is flicked on by Sarr and Solanke stretches to get a toe on the ball and prod over the line.

Bergvall took the corner – great changes, Postecoglou will tell us!

76’ – Man United 0-2 Spurs

Triple change for Spurs – Sarr, Moore and Bergvall on for Maddison, Werner and Johnson.

74’ – Man United 0-2 Spurs

Porro picks up a yellow card now for fouling Garnacho, who continues to look lively. Double sub for United, Eriksen and Hojlund on for Ugarte and Rashford. Richard Jolly’s assessment from Old Trafford:

“Perhaps United have played better with 10 men, though that is an indictment of their efforts with 11. Casemiro has at least looked a threat in the final third. Manuel Ugarte has gone off, perhaps to spare him a red card. It is an understatement to say he has not been good today, even if the circumstances of United’s performance are a mitigating factor.”

72’ – Man United 0-2 Spurs

Postecoglou could be thinking about changes here too, given his side have totally lost control – they have no possession, just counter-attacking from time to time.

Werner leads one down the left about 50 yards, beating a defender in the process – but then his cut-back is between three players and he throws his arms up in despair.

Garnacho goes down the other end, tricks his way inside and shoots – deflected wide.

68’ – Man United 0-2 Spurs

Closest United have come. A lofted ball over the top finds Casemiro running in of all people and he angles a half-volley on the bounce just past the far post.

Rasmus Hojlund is ready to come on for United as they seek a way back into the game.

64’ – Man United 0-2 Spurs

Mount sends over a free-kick but Vicario claims well. A few more deliveries into the area and the home fans are buoyed once more, urging their team to continue the fight to find a way back into the game.

Spurs have just lost control of the game over the last ten minutes, but they will surely have chances to counter-attack if United push on.

Kulusevski beats Ugarte down the wing and is bundled over – another yellow, for the United midfielder this time.

60’ – Man United 0-2 Spurs

United have just won their first corner of the game – Martinez won a header and appealed for a handball, but nothing doing. Then there’s another penalty shout – from more players this time – soon after, being Martinez again steers a shot past the post.

Romero did touch the ball with his arm but it wasn’t out or up, so no spot kick.

This is United’s best period of pressure, by which we mean they’ve had a few crosses and one half-hearted shot just wide. Ten Hag on the sidelines wafts his hands around and continues to chew his gum.

56’ – Man United 0-2 Spurs

Could, or should, be 3-0 – Onana to the rescue with a double save.

Kulusevski takes on two to burst through midfield and feed a brilliant ball to Werner; he shapes up the low shot which Onana gets down for, then the keeper lurches back up to deny the onrushing Johnson from the rebound, too.
