Erik ten Hag has named his starting line-up for Manchester United's Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur this evening, with Bruno Fernandes fit to start after his injury worry.
United, who progressed to the FA Cup final with a penalty shootout victory over Brighton at the weekend, have won their last three Premier League games having defeated Brentford, Everton and Nottingham Forest. The Reds are looking to finish the league season strongly after exiting the Europa League last week.
After overcoming the Seagulls on Sunday, Ten Hag has opted to make one change to his side for the clash against struggling Spurs in the capital, with Jadon Sancho coming in for Anthony Martial. Tottenham were thrashed 6-1 by Newcastle at the weekend, so interim boss Ryan Mason will be looking for a response from his team.

Reds talisman Fernandes suffered an injury in the first half of United's victory over Brighton in the FA Cup semi-final on Sunday afternoon. However, he was deemed fit enough to be included in the starting XI tonight.
Meanwhile, the likes of Tyrell Malacia, Fred and Wout Weghorst have been named among the substitutes. However, first-choice centre-back pairing Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez are both sidelined through injury.
It is the inclusion of Fernandes in the side that has attracted the most attention from United's supporters in the immediate aftermath of the team news being confirmed. Below, MEN Sport has taken a close look at what some Reds fans have had to say in response to the United side taking on Spurs:
As you can see from the messages displayed in the tweets above, Ten Hag's decision to name Fernandes in his starting XI, despite the knock he sustained at the weekend, went down well with Reds supporters. The Portuguese midfielder has made 50 appearances in all competitions this season.
