Tottenham and Man United do not meet until October 10, but recent Spurs training footage has hinted at the front four Roberto De Zerbi may deploy at Old Trafford.The international break remains in focus, but it is now slowly coming to an end, which means club football is set to take precedence once more.For Tottenham Hotspur, the September break has been a welcome boost as several of their players away on international duty have performed well, which should do their confidence a lot of good.Omar Marmoush scored his first goals of the season with a brace against Sudan, while Mathys Tel also found the net for France’s U21 side.StatisticOmar MarmoushGoals2Shots3Shots on target2Touches in opposition box4Successful dribbles8/10 (80%)Passes26/32 (81%)Passes into final third4Accurate long balls2/2 (100%)Recoveries3Duels won9Omar Marmoush vs SudanGiven Tottenham’s struggles in attack this season, where they have scored just two goals in their opening five games, this is surely a welcome boost for Roberto De Zerbi.However, while 15 players are away with their countries, 14 others have remained in north London, including a handful of De Zerbi’s attacking options.Credit: @reclusemedia / InstagramTottenham training hints at Roberto De Zerbi’s front four vs Manchester UnitedWith ten days to go before Tottenham take on Manchester United, all of the fit Spurs players who remained at Hotspur Way during the break have returned to first-team training.Spurs Web revealed that the first week of the international break was given as time off for those who did not travel. Today, Tottenham shared training footage showing De Zerbi putting his players through their paces.In the video, James Maddison, Mohammed Kudus, Savio and Dominic Solanke were all present and heavily involved.Maddison has yet to start a game for Tottenham this season, while Solanke has started but struggled to impress. Spurs Web believes this season is crucial for Solanke before Tottenham decide on his future next summer, given his difficulties in a Spurs shirt so far.D.

The wide forward was called up by Ghana but opted out, instead focusing on building his fitness after being sidelined for six months.De Zerbi said about the players who did not go for the international break following the defeat to Aston Villa: “Maybe it’s better. I didn’t speak with the players today because I didn’t want to say anything. I have nothing with them, but the players who go with the national team, they have to play and they have to work, and the other players — Maddison, Gallagher, Solanke, Tosin, Senesi, Savio — for sure, we have to work more because also the physical condition, I didn’t like even this game”Maddison, Kudus, Savio and Solanke could form Spurs’ attack against Man UnitedWith these four players heavily involved in first-team training for the next 10 days under De Zerbi, we believe the Spurs boss could opt for a fresh and fit front four against Man United, rather than using any of his returning international stars,United themselves have struggled this season, losing to newly promoted Hull City and ten-man Manchester City, among others. However, if Spurs are to beat them, their attack will need to be far sharper than we have seen over the past five games.Based on training footage, Kudus could be in line for his first start of the season from the right of attack, with Savio operating from the left.It could also be a first start for Maddison in the number ten role. Tottenham have lacked creativity in his absence, and the Englishman could be primed to return given those struggles.The number nine position is where De Zerbi faces a decision. Marmoush’s goals with Egypt may hint at the forward hitting form at the right time, and he could come into the side.However, his fitness after long travel will be a factor in whether he starts. Should he not be ready from the off, then Solanke could well get the nod in the number nine position.READ MORE: Man United receive fitness boost for Tottenham clash despite three-week injury issueThe post Tottenham training footage hints at Roberto De Zerbi’s front four vs Man United appeared first on Spurs Web.
