Full time: Manchester United 1 – 0 Tottenham Hotspurs

The Barclays Premier League is finally back! Manchester United will face Tottenham Hotspurs today at 12:45 BST. Louis van Gaal is determined to help Manchester United challenge for the title after securing a Champions League spot last term.

Injuries

Although the boss has ruled out any injuries, he has confirmed that David De Gea, Marcos Rojo and Bastian Schweinsteiger will be out of today’s game. It is mostly probable that the back four will consist of what we saw in pre-season, with Matteo Darmian, Daley Blind and Luke Shaw in defence with Phil Jones and Chris Smalling competing for the other spot. Morgan Schneiderlin will likely partner Michael Carrick in midfield while Sergio Romero and Sam Johnstone will be competing for the Goalkeeper spot.
