Ronaldo and Eriksen start - Manchester United fans name preferred team vs Tottenham

Manchester United will be looking to get back to winning ways when they take on Tottenham in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.

Erik ten Hag's side play their third game in less than a week in front of their home fans, as the Reds look to improve on their performance over the weekend. United were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw against Newcastle on Sunday, as Eddie Howe's side took a hard-fought point back to the north east.

United have now only scored one goal from their last 49 attempts, as both Marcus Rashford and Fred were guilty of squandering golden chances to score against the Magpies. Ten Hag knows his side have to be more clinical in front of goal, something that supporters will be hoping has been put into practice on the training ground ahead of the arrival of Antonio Conte's side.

Spurs have only lost one league game so far this season, coming at the hands of league leaders and bitter rivals Arsenal, as United know all too well the threat that the North London side possess with the likes of Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min. Ten Hag's team selection will be vital, as he looks to nullify Tottenham's threat on the counter-attack.

Therefore, how do United fans want their side to line-up this evening? MEN Sport has taken a close look at what they have voted for using our interactive widget ( see below ).

In goal, there is no surprise as fans opt for David de Gea to retain his place between the sticks. The Spaniard helped the Reds keep their third clean sheet in the league against Newcastle during his 500th appearance for the club.

At the back, the supporters have also selected the same defensive-line that kept Callum Wilson quiet. Luke Shaw has been backed to keep his starting XI spot over Tyrell Malacia once again.

In the middle of the park, fans will be hoping that Christian Eriksen is fit enough to play a full 90 minutes after his recent bout of illness. They name the Dane alongside Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes as the three midfield options against Spurs.

Lastly, Cristiano Ronaldo has been backed by supporters to maintain his position as central striker with Anthony Martial still ruled out. They have opted for Marcus Rashford to operate on the left wing, with Antony cutting in from the right.

Starting line-up United fans want to see vs Tottenham: De Gea; Dalot, Martinez, Varane, Shaw; Casemiro, Eriksen, Fernandes; Antony, Ronaldo, Rashford.
