Predicted lineups for Tottenham vs MU: Red Devils' attack is 'weak'.

This is a crucial match in the race for a Champions League spot, as both teams are fiercely competing at the top of the table. Ahead of the match, both teams have experienced significant changes in their squads, considerably impacting their starting lineups.

Tottenham welcomes back an important player.

In recent weeks, manager Ange Postecoglou has faced numerous injuries, severely depleting the Tottenham squad. However, ahead of their clash with Manchester United, the North London team has received positive signs.

Guglielmo Vicario and Destiny Udogie could both return to action after lengthy injury layoffs. In addition, James Maddison and Brennan Johnson also have a chance to make a comeback, strengthening Spurs' midfield and attack.

However, the home team will still be without several key players. Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Dominic Solanke, and Richarlison are all absent due to injury. In addition, defender Radu Dragusin recently underwent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery and will be out for the rest of the season.

Manchester United is a headache for Ruben Amorim.

Manchester United also lacked their strongest squad for the trip to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Center-back Lisandro Martinez had just undergone surgery and was certain to be absent. In addition, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, Jonny Evans, Tom Heaton, and Altay Bayindir were also unavailable.

Furthermore, Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte, and Toby Collyer are also experiencing fitness issues, causing manager Amorim a personnel headache in midfield. Another piece of bad news is that Amad Diallo may be out for the rest of the season due to an ankle injury. However, MU still have quality players like Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, and Alejandro Garnacho available to play.
