However, their attentions turn back to the Premier League this weekend, as they host Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Spurs lost their unbeaten league start to Chelsea a fortnight ago, but bounced back with a 5-0 win over Swansea last weekend, and then a 3-1 success over CSKA Moscow in the Champions League on Wednesday.
