How Manchester United should line up against Tottenham in Premier League fixture

Manchester United have a stiff test on Wednesday night as they face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

United are trying to build momentum in the Premier League following the brutal battering handed to them by neighbours Manchester City but hit yet another speed bump on the weekend when they played out a goalless stalemate with Newcastle, a match they had the chances to win.
