Manchester United transfer news LIVE Sir Jim Ratcliffe 'development' and team news for Tottenham

Manchester United will be aiming to tighten their grip on a top-four berth when they travel to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to face Tottenham Hotspur this evening.

United, fresh from booking their place in the FA Cup final at the weekend, will be looking to strengthen their Champions League aspirations and register a fourth successive Premier League win.
