Manchester United and Tottenham return from the international break with plenty to put right when they meet at Old Trafford on Saturday. United’s last league outing ended in a 1-1 draw at Fulham, rescued by a Matheus Cunha equaliser in the 89th minute. Spurs came closer to a comeback against Aston Villa: Conor Gallagher and Jan Paul van Hecke scored late on, but a 3-2 home defeat left them still looking for their first Premier League win of the season.
It is a significant return to club football for Michael Carrick and Roberto De Zerbi. The Premier League’s Matchweek 6 preview points to United’s five points from their first five games and Spurs’ winless start. Tottenham did at least end their league scoring drought against Villa, having failed to score in their first four matches. Now the visitors face United at a ground where they lost 2-0 in February.
