Manchester United returns from the international break with a crucial matchup against Tottenham on Saturday, Oct. 10.

Michael Carrick is under major pressure with his side languishing in 12th place, having picked up just five points in five league games so far.

Carrick will be hoping for a full compliment of players to choose from but like many coaches, he'll have some injury concerns coming out of the extended FIFA window.

Carrick will be without long-term absentees like Matthijs de Ligt (back) and Manuel Ugarte (knee), while Kobbie Mainoo and Marcus Rashford both withdrew from England duty and will be late calls.

Patrick Dorgu and Noussair Mazraoui are both out after suffering injuries while representing Denmark and Morocco, while Benjamin Šeško

is also out with a shin injury.

Here is how Manchester United could line up against Spurs.
