Man Utd wait on midfield duo but will be without Pogba for Mourinho return
Scott McTominay and Nemanja Matic are “touch and go” for Manchester United’s clash with Tottenham – a match Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has ruled Paul Pogba out of.
McTominay has missed three games with an ankle complaint, while fellow midfielder Matic has not played for two months with an unspecified issue.
Pogba remains out as he recovers from an ankle injury, while Eric Bailly, Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Diogo Dalot continue to build fitness after injury.
Tottenham have no fresh injury concerns for Jose Mourinho’s return to Old Trafford.
Spurs are still without Erik Lamela (hamstring), Ben Davies (ankle) and Michel Vorm (calf).
Hugo Lloris (elbow) is a long-term absentee and is not expected to be fit until 2020.
Manchester United provisional squad: De Gea, Romero, Grant, Wan-Bissaka, Young, Jones, Laird, Lindelof, Tuanzebe, Maguire, Shaw, Williams, Fred, Garner, Gomes, McTominay, Matic, James, Lingard, Mata, Pereira, Chong, Greenwood, Martial, Rashford.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
