Manchester:Manchester United will host Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on Saturday, with both teams keen to improve their standing in the Premier League. Michael Carrick's side aims to bounce back from a challenging start to the season, while Tottenham seeks to climb out of the bottom of the league after a difficult run of matches.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, the match will test both managers' strategies following the international break. Manchester United is dealing with a number of injuries, but they may see Carlos Baleba make his debut. Tottenham, on the other hand, is boosted by the return of key defensive players, although they still face challenges with their attacking lineup.

Both teams have been inconsistent recently. Manchester United managed a significant win against Sabah Baku but also suffered defeats against Brighton and Manchester City. Tottenham, meanwhile, is still searching for their first league victory and has struggled to find the net in recent matches. Despite these issues, the game promises to be a closely contested affair, with both teams eager to secure a much-needed win.
