Latest Tottenham vs MU squad information
A string of injuries in recent weeks has forced Postecoglou to patch up his squad, but at least two, possibly four, players will have a chance to return to the starting line-up against Man United.
On Friday, the Spurs boss announced that Guglielmo Vicario and Destiny Udogie were close to making their first appearances of 2025, while James Maddison and Brennan Johnson could also return after recovering from muscle injuries. Wilson Odobert and Timo Werner have resumed training, but it is not yet clear when they will return to action.
However, Micky van de Ven (thigh), Cristian Romero (thigh problem), Dominic Solanke (knee problem) and Richarlison (muscle problem) remain sidelined, while Radu Dragusin has undergone successful surgery to repair an ACL injury and will be out for the rest of the season.
Dragusin and Lisandro Martinez are both currently recovering from similar operations. The United centre-back is believed to have undergone surgery earlier this week and is certain to miss the trip to north London, along with several other players.
Luke Shaw (muscle), Mason Mount (thigh), Jonny Evans (back problem), Tom Heaton (unknown reason) and Altay Bayindir (unknown reason) are also not ready to return. In addition, coach Amorim shared in his pre-match press conference that he has "one or two other problems", and according to the information, these problems involve Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte and Toby Collyer.
While Ugarte and Collyer have not been ruled out, Mainoo is expected to be out for at least a few weeks, while it has been reported that Amad Diallo – a key attacking player – could be out for the rest of the season with an ankle injury, dealing a major blow to United’s squad.
New signing Patrick Dorgu made a surprise debut in the FA Cup win over Leicester, starting at right-back before being replaced midway through the game by Alejandro Garnacho. Garnacho's brilliant performance means he's likely to start on Sunday.
Latest expected lineup for Tottenham vs MU

Latest Tottenham vs MU football review
Immediately after the north London derby against Arsenal in September, Ange Postecoglou confidently declared that he "always" wins the title in his second season in charge of any team – a bold statement but one that makes perfect sense given his managerial career.
However, in just four short days earlier this month, the Australian coach's aspirations of realizing that prophecy were dealt two fatal blows. First, Tottenham fell in the semi-finals of the League Cup to Liverpool, followed by a fourth-round defeat in the FA Cup to Aston Villa, extending their failure to advance further in the tournament for another season.
Spurs, however, still have a chance to win their first trophy since 2008 when they enter the Europa League. Before suffering two shock cup exits, Tottenham ended a disappointing run in the Premier League with a win over Brentford – a London rival.
Defeating Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium ended Spurs' run of four consecutive defeats and seven games without a win in the top flight and now their next target is to improve their poor home record at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Indeed, Postecoglou's side have gone more than three months without a home win in the Premier League, drawing two and losing five of their last seven games here – although they have scored in all of them.
Everton are the only team to fail to score at home to Tottenham in the 2024-25 season. However, Postecoglou has yet to lose to United in the Premier League and if he continues this run, he will become only the fourth manager in history - after Unai Emery, Ruud Gullit and Nuno Espírito Santo - to remain unbeaten in his first four Premier League meetings with the Red Devils.
Similar to the home team, Man United also scored a goal in the extra time of the FA Cup fourth round match. However, while Mathys Tel's goal for Tottenham was only a salvage, Harry Maguire's goal was full of controversy.
The former Leicester centre-back headed home a free-kick to give Amorim’s side a dramatic 2-1 win. However, had VAR intervened, Maguire’s goal would almost certainly have been ruled out for a clear offside call that the linesman missed.
While Ruud van Nistelrooy expressed his displeasure at the so-called 'offside time' rather than the more familiar 'Fergie time', Man United fans were still celebrating wildly – as their team won their sixth game in eight in all competitions. It was a significant step forward for the once dominant English side, who are also eyeing Europa League glory this spring.
However, the 20-time English champions disappointed their fans again with a 2-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace on February 2 – one of seven defeats in their last 11 Premier League games. Spurs, meanwhile, have beaten them twice this season.
Before their thrilling 4-3 victory in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals in December, Postecoglou’s Tottenham side thrashed Erik ten Hag’s United 3-0 at Old Trafford, meaning Spurs are on the verge of winning both legs of a Premier League clash with the Red Devils for the first time in their history.
