Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United: Premier League - live
now 20.40 BST 25 min: Bruno Fernandes shoots from distance and his swerving shot is put out for a corner by Fraser Forster, who probably could have done better and caught the ball.
1m ago 20.39 BST 23 min: A Bruno Fernandes shot from a very tight angle is blocked out for a corner by Christian Romero. Luke Shaw sends the ball towards the edge of the six-yard box, where Tottenham clear.
4m ago 20.37 BST 18 min: Ivan Perisic heads one off his own line as Manchester United threaten to double their lead. United carved open the Tottenham defence with alarming ease, Antony advancing towards goal after getting the better of the Croat. United played the ball from right to left: Antony on to Fernades and on to Sancho. His first effort was blocked and his second, on the follow up, took a deflection off Porro and was goalbound, only for Perisic to clear with his head.
9m ago 20.32 BST 17 min: A Richarlison cross from the byline is cut out by David De Gea before it can get anywahere near Harry Kane, who the Brazilian was trying to find.
10m ago 20.30 BST 15 min: Clement Lenglet tries to pick out a Son run through the centre with a long ball from deep. Luke Shaw is on hand to cut the ball out before it can reach its intended target.
12m ago 20.29 BST 14 min: Son sticks out a leg to poke a loose ball into the path of Richarlison, cantering up the inside-left. He cuts inside and shoots straight at David De Gea. Offside.
13m ago 20.28 BST 13 min: Rashford takes the free-kick, whipping the ball a couple of yards wide of the far upright. Forster had it covered, even if it had threatened to creep in. Marcus Rashford goes close with a free-kick. Photograph: Alastair Grant/AP

14m ago 20.27 BST 11 min: Rashford wins a free-kick on the back of a late tackle from Eric Dier. Free-kick for Manchester United, about 30 yards out, straight in front of the Spurs goal.
15m ago 20.26 BST 9 min: That Sancho opener was quite similar to Newcastle’s opener against Tottenham on Sunday. On that occasion it was Joelinton who cut inside to shoot, only for Hugo Lloris to parry his effort to the feet of Jacob Murphy.
17m ago 20.23 BST GOAL! Tottenham 0-1 Manchester United (Sancho 7) Manchester United lead! The marking is non-existent as Marcus Rashford skips a tackle in midfield and picks out Sancho with a ball out wide to the left.

24m ago 20.17 BST 2 min: Richarlison lines up on the left-hand side of Harry Kane, with Heung-min Son on the right, a mildly intriguing state of affairs as you’d expect their roles to be reversed.

28m ago 20.12 BST Not long now: It’s a filthy, dirty evening in North London, where the players of Tottenham and Manchester United are lined up in the tunnel of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. They make their way out on to the pitch, where they line up either side of Anthony Taylor and his team of match officials for the last of the pre-match formalities. Kick-off is just a couple of minutes away.
34m ago 20.07 BST Erik Ten Hag: The Manchester United manager has put his solitary change this evening (Sancho in for Martial) down to a rotation issue. “We have to manage [Anthony Martial’s] load,” he tells BT Sport. “That’s one thing. Another thing is Jadon is doing very well, Martial is also doing well, but we have to choose and can choose from a tactical perspective. So for today, we make this choice, but Sunday we can do different – with the number of games we have to play and [games] we have in our legs already, we have to rotate a bit.” Ten Hag also said Harry Maguire is not in tonight’s squad because he picked up an injury in training.
1h ago 19.42 BST Eric Dier: In an interview with BT Sport, the Tottenham defender talks up Ryan Mason’s qualities as interim manager by saying “he knows the club inside-out and he knows the players very well”. Uh-oh! Aren’t these the very qualities that earned Frank Lampard the Chelsea interim manager’s job?
1h ago 19.32 BST Those teams: Bruno Fernandes has been passed fit to play in Manchester United’s midfield, despite fears he might miss out with an ankle injury. Erik ten Hag makes just one change from the team that beat Brighton at Wembley on Sunday, with Jadon Sancho coming in for Anthony Martial. Harry Maguire is absent from the match day squad, despite being available after suspension. Ryan Mason makes three changes to the Tottenham side that disgraced themselves during the opening 20 minutes at St James’ Park on Sunday afternoon. Fraser Forster replaces the injured Hugo Lloris in goal, while Clement Lenglet comes in to a back five, with midfielder Pape Sarr making way. Further upfield, Richarlison starts in place of Dejan Kulusevski. The Brazilian has yet to score a Premier League goal for Tottenham and has not found the net for his side since scoring twice in a Champions League game against Marseille in early September. They remain his only goals for the club.

1h ago 19.17 BST Early team news Manchester United are without Lisandro Martinez, Donny van de Beek, Raphael Varane and Scott McTominay, who all remain unavailable. Winger Alejandro Garnacho is also sidelined with the ankle injury that has kept him out for the past six weeks. Midfielder Bruno Fernandes is also a doubt with an ankle injury he picked up against Brightoon but was due to undergo a late fitness test. While Ryan Sessegnon, Rodrgio Bentancur and Yves Bissouma are all out for Spurs, their own only new injury concerns is Hugo Lloris, who was forced off at half-time in the match against Newcastle with a hip injury. Quite how much a loss the French goalkeeper would constitute is open to debate but Fraser Forster will start in his place should he miss out. Ryan Mason expects a reaction from Spurs to 6-1 loss against Newcastle Read more
