Erik ten Hag has previewed Manchester United’s Premier League encounter with Tottenham on Sunday.

Shortly after United’s 1-1 draw with FC Twente in the Europa League, Ten Hag meets reporters again to preview this weekend’s Premier League action.

Tottenham come to Old Trafford and will be looking to take advantage of United, who will be hurting after a midweek disappointment.

When asked if there were any knocks coming out of the European tie, Ten Hag told club media (via ManUtd.com): “I think it will be a very intense game. It always is against Tottenham and I think it is also our style as well. So I think is it going to be a very dynamic, attractive game.”

When asked if Fernandes was guilty of looking a bit tired, Ten Hag replied: “I think the team brings him in a situation. I think he is capable and he has proven already, so many times in the Premier League, he can create many chances.

“I am convinced he will not do differently. He will come on this point, he will find his form. He is already creating chances but he will make final passes, he will score goals. One hundred per cent and it is just a matter of time.”

Ten Hag’s comments indicate that United will still be without Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw and Leny Yoro. They are the only players ruled out of action currently.

It means the manager has plenty of options to select from on Sunday and there can be no excuses for coming up short again.
