Tottenham vs Man Utd team news: Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford start
Tottenham and Manchester United have welcomed back fit-again stars for their Friday Night Football clash, with Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford recovering from long-term injuries during lockdown to start at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Football's three-month suspension due to the coronavirus pandemic allowed Spurs striker Kane to overcome a hamstring problem he sustained on New Year's Day, while Jose Mourinho has also named fit-again Moussa Sissoko (knee), Heung-min Son (arm) and Steven Bergwijn (ankle) in his starting XI.
However, Giovani Lo Celso only makes the bench after carrying an injury since March which he was unable to properly treat during lockdown, while Dele Alli is suspended.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Mourinho's former club United are also boosted by key players who have returned to full fitness, with forward Rashford recovering from a back injury, which initially looked to have put his Euro 2020 hopes in doubt.
Paul Pogba is on the bench and will be aiming to make his first United appearance since Boxing Day later in the game. Instead, Bruno Fernandes, Fred and Scott McTominay form the midfield three.
Tottenham: Lloris, Aurier, Sanchez, Dier, Davies, Winks, Sissoko, Bergwijn, Lamela, Son, Kane. Subs: Gazzaniga, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, White, Sessegnon, Ndombele, Lo Celso, Skipp, Fernandes.
Man Utd: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Fred, McTominay, Fernandes, James, Martial, Rashford. Subs: Romero, Bailly, Williams, Matic, Pogba, Mata, Lingard, Ighalo, Greenwood.
