I am not sure much will have changed for either team since then, so it is hard to make a case for anyone to win this, but I am going with Bruno Fernandes to settle it with a bit of magic.”Prediction: 2-1.Spurs receive double-injury boost ahead of Man Utd clashBoth Micky van de Ven and Jan Paul van Hecke suffered injuries while in action for the Netherlands during the international break, with the latter forced to return to Hotspur Way early.However, Van de Ven was seen training with the Spurs squad on Thursday ahead of the club’s trip to Old Trafford. Reports indicate there is optimism at Tottenham that both centre-backs will be fit to take to the field against United.Injured playerInjuryPotential ReturnWilson OdobertKneeNovember 2026Xavi SimonsKnee2027Mykhailo MudrykAnkleNovember 2026Dejan KulusevskiFitnessSoonPedro PorroHamstringOctober 2026Jan Paul van HeckeFootOctober 2026Micky Van de VenWristOctober 2026Man Utd could also be without several key men, with many of Carrick’s players facing late fitness tests ahead of Saturday’s clash.READ MORE: Juventus want to sign second Tottenham star on loan after Pape Sarr successThe post ‘Tottenham are so flaky’ – Chris Sutton shares score prediction for Man United v Spurs appeared first on Spurs Web.
