Man Utd welcome Tottenham to Old Trafford with both sides facing injury worries, as per latest news on this PL fixture.
Injury News Ahead Of Man Utd Vs. Tottenham Game
Manchester United head into this clash with confidence flowing through the squad. Three straight Premier League wins have lifted belief in the squad. In addition, the victories over Arsenal and Manchester City have reset the mood around Old Trafford. The late 3-2 win over Fulham showed fight and control from them. With that, there’s a growing trust in Michael Carrick’s methods. With Man Utd sitting fourth, this match feels like a chance to press harder in the race for the top spots.
As per reports, 11 players from both the club’s combined are set to miss this PL game due to injuries. The hosts are in a far calmer place than their visitors. Patrick Dorgu is the biggest concern after suffering a hamstring problem against Arsenal. What first looked minor has now turned serious for the Danish defender. Given that, Carrick has already hinted the young defender could be sidelined for a while.
Meanwhile, Matthijs De Ligt is also ruled out as he continues to recover from a lower back issue. He has not returned to training yet, but there is quiet hope he could be back soon.
Mason Mount is the final question mark in the Red Devils’ squad. A knock picked up in training kept him out against Fulham. Now, his status will be checked closer to kick off. Compared to recent seasons, United will see this as manageable.
🧠SMART MOVE: Michael Carrick sent 3–4 tactical analysts to every Tottenham game after taking charge as Manchester United’s interim manager.
He knew Spurs would be his biggest test at the time.

Spurs Warn Of Massive Setbacks After Brutal Injury Run
Tottenham arrive in Manchester dealing with a growing injury list. Head coach Thomas Frank has had little breathing room in recent weeks as well. The list of missing players tells a harsh story. Already, nine players are ruled out, with several others facing late fitness calls. Despite a big 2-2 draw with Manchester City, Spurs know survival alone will not be enough at Old Trafford.
Stars like James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, and Rodrigo Bentancur will remain sidelined with serious hamstring and knee issues. That said, their absence strips Spurs of control and creativity in midfield. Mohammed Kudus is also unavailable as he continues a slow return from a hamstring injury. As per reports, April is being seen as his return date.
Elsewhere, Ben Davies and Lucas Bergvall are on similar recovery paths after ankle problems. Those injuries have ruled them out for weeks. Richarlison and Pedro Porro are also unavailable, though both are expected back later in February. Defender Kevin Danso is another confirmed absence after suffering a painful toe injury in Europe.
Doubts Hover Over Selection As United Sense Opportunity
While Tottenham’s ruled out list is long, the doubts may prove just as key. Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero are both being monitored closely. Van de Ven is managing a minor knock, while Romero missed time recently through illness. Both are expected to be available, but neither is at full strength.
Also, Djed Spence is another concern after a calf issue kept him out against City. That said, his availability remains unclear at the moment. Dominic Solanke is also being assessed after pushing his fitness following a long ankle layoff. Though signs suggest that he will start against the Red Devils.
For Man Utd, this situation creates a clear opening. So far, Carrick’s side looks settled and sharp in the league. However, Spurs may need to take risks with half fit players. Old Trafford has already seen big wins this season, and the crowd will senses fear across the field as well.
