Baleba, Mainoo, Rashford – Man Utd injury latest for must-win Tottenham clash

Manchester United are preparing for a crucial Premier League match against Tottenham with several players nearing returns from injury. Kobbie Mainoo and Marcus Rashford are expected to be available after withdrawing from international duty with minor issues suffered against Fulham. Summer signing Carlos Baleba could make his debut after featuring in a behind-closed-doors friendly, while Benjamin Sesko and Amad are also progressing toward returns to Michael Carrick's squad.

However, Carrick faces defensive concerns ahead of Saturday's match. Full-backs Patrick Dorgu and Noussair Mazraoui both picked up potential injuries on international duty and face fitness tests. Matthijs de Ligt remains sidelined long term with a serious back injury, alongside goalkeepers Karl Darlow and Tom Heaton.
