Manchester United vs Tottenham LIVE highlights and reaction as Cristiano Ronaldo scores hat-trick

Manchester United play Tottenham in the Premier League on Saturday evening.

United suffered yet another humiliation against Manchester City at the weekend, losing 4-1 at the Etihad, and they'll be desperate to respond here. With the race for the Champions League now in the latter stages, United can't afford points at their current rate.

United moved down to fifth in the Premier League on Sunday and Arsenal are one point ahead of the Reds, with three games in hand.

In terms of team news for today's match, Cristiano Ronaldo starts after recovering from his injury, while Raphael Varane also returns following illness.

United are without Bruno Fernandes (illness), Luke Shaw (Covid-19) and Scott McTominay. It is understood De Gea returned a suspected false positive COVID test but he was able to play after testing negative.

Diogo Dalot

Cleared off the line from Eric Dier at 1-0 but was dragged infield repeatedly and Sergio Reguilon took advantage to force the second equaliser. 5

Raphael Varane

Read the game authoritatively and had to keep the defence together a few times amid Tottenham's territorial dominance. 7
