Confirmed United XI vs Spurs: Dorgu starts; Chido Obi and Sekou Kone on the bench

Patrick Dorgu starts his first away match for Manchester United today as Ruben Amorim’s decimated side visit Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

Dorgu will play wing back, probably on the left side for the first time in a United shirt.

Elsewhere in the team, Andre Onana is in goal.

The back three are Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire and Noussair Mazraoui.

Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro are the central midfield pair and Diogo Dalot the other wing back.

Up front, Alejandro Garnacho and Josh Zirkzee flank Rasmus Hojlund.

United are in the midst of yet another injury crisis.

Luke Shaw, Jonny Evans and Mason Mount are still unavailable, along with Lisandro Martinez, who had surgery on an ACL injury this week. They have been joined by Kobbie Mainoo and Amad on the injury list, with Amad also needing surgery after damaging an ankle ligament in training.

Manuel Ugarte and Toby Collyer also picked up injuries during the week and Altay Bayindir has not recovered from the knock that saw him miss out against Leicester last Friday. Leny Yoro and Christian Eriksen are missing from the squad. They could be ill as Amorim mentioned players being sick during the pre-match press conference.

This means the substitutes’ bench sees a lot of young faces, with potential debuts beckoning today.

The full bench is Elyh Harrison, Harry Amass, Tyler Fredrickson, Victor Lindelof, Ayden Heaven, Jack Fletcher, Jack Moorhouse, Sekou Koné and Chido Obi.

Kick off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is at 4.30pm.
