Manchester United is gearing up for an important Premier League match as they build momentum under interim manager Michael Carrick.
The team secured a thrilling 3-2 win against Fulham at Old Trafford on Sunday, with Benjamin Sesko scoring the late winner after earlier goals from Casemiro and Matheus Cunha. This victory marks United’s third straight win since Carrick’s return.
This success has reignited hopes for a spot in the UEFA Champions League, especially as there is a possibility of an additional Champions League place in the Premier League.
As they prepare for their weekend match against Tottenham Hotspur, Spurs have provided a key squad update.
Tottenham has confirmed that Micky van de Ven will be available for the match against Manchester United on Saturday.
The Dutch defender has returned to full training after missing the last two games due to a minor injury.
Spurs manager Thomas Frank shared this update during his pre-match press conference, stating:
“Micky is good, he trained today. He’s available for selection for Saturday, so that’s good.”
Frank also added that Cristian Romero will be fit, but offered a cautious update on Djed Spence’s condition.
For Manchester United, Van de Ven’s return is a significant defensive boost for Tottenham, especially with Matthijs de Ligt still sidelined due to an injury.
Van de Ven’s speed and recovery ability have been crucial this season, especially against fast-paced attacks, an area where United has been improving recently.
With another crucial match at Old Trafford and Carrick’s team gaining confidence, Saturday’s game will be a key test for United’s development this season.
