by · Manchester Evening News

Erik ten Hag has no fresh injury concerns ahead of Manchester United's Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

United will look to return to winning ways after two successive draws in the league and Europa League. After a stalemate with Crystal Palace last weekend, United drew 1-1 against Twente at Old Trafford this week.

Ahead of the clash Tottenham, targeting back-to-back wins, have Son Heung-min as a doubt for the game. Head coach Ange Postecoglou confirmed a late call will be made on their captain.

The 32-year-old had to be substituted in the second half of Tottenham's Europa League win over Qarabag on Thursday after feeling fatigue in his hamstring. He received treatment on the pitch shortly after Dominic Solanke netted his side's final goal in a 3-0 win.

During his press-conference on Friday, Postecoglou said: "Still early days from last night. The boys are fairly tired, the ones who put in a shift. Apart from Sonny, everybody is okay and Sonny I don’t think is too bad.

“He wants to train tomorrow and we will see how it goes and make a decision from there. We have another day up our sleeve to give him every chance.” Son hasn't been sidelined with injury since November 2022, when he fractured his eye socket.

Although United have no fresh injury concerns, MEN Sport has taken a look at those players that will remain sidelined for Tottenham's visit.

Luke Shaw

Injury: Calf.

What Ten Hag has said: "I think it's probably [before the international break], but I can't say this for 100 per cent sure. The plan is to be back before, but it can be a short while after," Ten Hag explained this week.

Possible return date: October 2024.

Leny Yoro

Injury: Fractured metatarsal.

Tyrell Malacia

Injury: Knee.

What Ten Hag has said: "He is not that far [off], but he is now in a progress situation. At a relatively short notice, he can again return into team training and then into team performance in games. I think it would be possible [to be available again] in two months."

Possible return date: October 2024.
