Manchester United will be hoping to get back to winning ways on Wednesday night, as the Reds take on Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
An in-form Newcastle side held United to a 0-0 draw at Old Trafford in Erik ten Hag 's last outing, with Cristiano Ronaldo denied a controversial goal. The point saw United remain in fifth place, just three points off the top four.
Next up for United is high-flying Spurs, with Antonio Conte's side currently sitting third in the Premier League table. The last meeting between these two sides saw United win 3-2 thanks to a Ronaldo hat trick - the third consecutive game against Spurs that United had scored three goals.
