Manchester United vs Tottenham live stream — how to watch Premier League 21/22 game online

The Manchester United vs Tottenham live stream will feature two of the Premier League’s most consistently inconsistent sides, in a game that has very high stakes.

Both Spurs and Manchester United still have aspirations to qualify for next season’s Champions League, and so claiming three points in this game is crucial for both.

Tottenham's erratic form has seen them earn big victories over Leeds and Everton, while also losing to Burnley and being knocked out of the FA Cup by Middlesborough in recent weeks. Manager Antonio Conte has said that finishing fourth and qualifying for the Champions League would be akin to his side winning the league this year, but they are going to have to put together a run of good results to have any chance of achieving this. A win at Old Trafford would be a significant step in the right direction for them.

While the visitors have a poor record at Old Trafford, they did get an astonishing 1-6 victory behind closed doors last season. However Manchester United won 0-3 when the two teams met at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier this season. Neither manager in charge that day is still in place. Instead, it’s Ralf Rangnick vs Antonio Conte — two managers with very contrasting styles. 

Cristiano Ronaldo is back for the Manchester United vs Tottenham live stream, having missed out on his side’s thrashing at the hands of Manchester City due to injury. Forward Edinson Cavani could also return from injury after a month out; he's on the bench. Raphael Varane, meanwhile, has recovered from Covid and starts, but Luke Shaw has not yet got over his bout of the disease and will miss out, as will Scott McTominey.

Lucas Moura was back on the bench for Spurs for Monday’s match against Everton, although he was unused. Oliver Skipp is out, though, with the midfielder's injury causing increasing concern at the club. Ryan Sessegnon picked up a hamstring injury in that Everton match and will not feature for at least a month. 

This match will have major consequences for who finishes in the European places at the end of the season. Arsenal, in particular, will be looking on intently to see how their rivals for the top four do. Manchester United go into the weekend in fifth place in the Premier League. Tottenham are two places and two points behind, although they have also played two games less.

Here's how they line up:

Manchester United: De Gea, Maguire, Pogba, Ronaldo, Rashford, Fred, Varane, Dalot, Sancho, Telles, Matic.

Tottenham: Lloris, Doherty, Reguilon, Romero, Hojbjerg, Son, Kane, Dier, Kulusevski, Bentancur, Davies.
