How to watch and follow United v Tottenham
Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur will lock horns at Old Trafford on Sunday in our first home fixture of 2024.
Ange Postecoglou's side began this new year by joining the Reds in advancing to the fourth round of the Emirates FA Cup, where they will face Manchester City. But this weekend marks a return to Premier League action before both clubs get a week off.
Having lost our last league fixture, away to Nottingham Forest on 30 December, Erik ten Hag will no doubt be hoping to see more of the attacking football that was on display in Monday's cup tie at Wigan Athletic, when we take to the field on Sunday.
