Major injury update on Micky van de Ven ahead of United’s clash with Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky van de Ven is expected to be fit to face Manchester United this weekend after avoiding serious injury on international duty. The Dutchman was substituted during the Netherlands' 2-1 win over Serbia when Luka Jovic stepped on his hand. Netherlands manager Xavi confirmed the injury was not serious, explaining the defender felt dizzy from finger pain.

Tottenham and United enter the Old Trafford fixture under pressure, managed by Roberto De Zerbi and Michael Carrick respectively. Tottenham also hope Jan Paul van Hecke will feature despite his own international knock. Meanwhile, Manchester United could hand a debut to Carlos Baleba and welcome back Matthijs de Ligt, though Benjamin Sesko and Amad remain fitness concerns.
