Sports Mole rounds up all of Manchester United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Thursday's Premier League fixture with Tottenham Hotspur.

Manchester United return to Premier League action on Thursday when they square off against rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

Away from top-flight action, United have had mixed success, succumbing tamely to Sevilla in the Europa League before edging out Brighton & Hove Albion on penalties in the FA Cup semi-finals three days later.

Erik ten Hag's side now switch their attention to the Premier League where they sit six points clear of their next opponents in the race for the Champions League.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Spurs, who lost 6-1 at fellow Champions League-chasers Newcastle United at the weekend.
