Manchester United face Tottenham at Old Trafford on Saturday.
The Red Devils completed the winter transfer window quietly, allowing few fringe players to leave on loan while keeping their main squad intact.
Michael Carrick has been a breath of fresh air since returning to the team, winning all three games thus far. Tough encounters against local rivals Manchester City and old opponents Arsenal both delivered three points, while a last-minute winner against Fulham kept the interim manager unbeaten. Read A
Next up is Tottenham at home, as Thomas Frank’s side looks to build on their remarkable victory against City last weekend. A win over Spurs will strengthen United’s top-four prospects and potentially cut the distance on Aston Villa, who face Bournemouth later in the day.

With only a few days until the weekend action, which starts on Friday with Nottingham Forest’s visit to Leeds United, Mirror Football compiles the most recent news from the Theatre of Dreams.
Ruben Amorim’s decision
Ruben Amorim has implicitly shown Carrick the utmost level of respect by deferring his explanation of his United trip until the end of the season.
Following a 1-1 draw with Leeds United in January, the Portuguese manager was fired after 14 months in command.
Carrick was appointed temporary manager, and many people were eager to hear Amorim’s version of the story shortly after his departure.
However, a source has informed the Daily Mail that the 41-year-old intends to wait until the summer to come out.
Fulham’s Alex Iwobi has singled out Kobbie Mainoo, who injured his hand during a violent battle on Sunday.
The midfielder has improved his form under Carrick, starting all three Premier League games and covering more ground than anyone else.
This contrasts sharply with his experience under Amorim, who kept him on the bench for the most of his tenure.
And it appears like Iwobi is still feeling the repercussions of the England international battle from last weekend.
