Zirkzee starts as Dorgu unleashed in new role: Manchester United predicted line up vs Tottenham - gallery

Manchester United are back in action when they travel to face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

United and Spurs both head into the match as bottom-half sides and will be looking for an important win to lift spirits and ease any suggestions of a relegation battle.

Ruben Amorim is expected to freshen his side up for the trip to North London, with Alejandro Garnacho and Joshua Zirkzee both in contention to start after their impressive cameos from the bench against Leicester last time out.

United will also have to find a replacement for Lisandro Martinez after he underwent surgery on a serious injury this week, while January addition Patrick Dorgu could be handed his first start at left wing-back. Here is how we think United should line up at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium:
