The teams are out for Manchester United's Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford. The good news is that Juan Mata makes his first league start since January; the bad news is that Rafael is made to wait for his return to first team action, despite his impressive showing for the reserves.
Ángel Di María and Marcos Rojo are both omitted from the matchday squad (the former suspended, the latter injured), meaning Chris Smalling and Phil Jones make up a rather terrifying defensive pairing. Ander Herrera and Michael Carrick both start in midfield, with the absence of Luke Shaw meaning Daley Blind is expected to fill in at left-back.
