Manchester United fans have mixed views after Erik ten Hag named his matchday squad for the Premier League showdown with Tottenham at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon (4.30pm). Christian Eriksen is the only change to the starting XI with the Denmark playmaker coming in for academy graduate Scott McTominay.
United have been hit harder than most when it comes to injuries this campaign. However, during the build-up to their mouth-watering game against Spurs, a multiple selection boost was anticipated.
Lisandro Martinez and Casemiro are among those to return to the matchday squad, while Eriksen - who partners Kobbie Mainoo in midfield - is back from illness.

Antony missed the preceding FA Cup win over Wigan Athletic with an unspecified injury. The ex-Ajax forward is back in the mix, too, as cover for Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford with Rasmus Hojlund leading the line.
