Man Utd boss Ten Hag: We're excited about Spurs test

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag says they must maintain their month's form against Tottenham today.

United host Spurs on the back of their FA Cup Third Round win at Wigan Athletic.

Ten Hag said: "I think to set the question is to answer the question. That is what we are looking for. There is a very good spirit at Carrington in the last weeks and there is a real inspiration there. There is a very good fight and we want to do the things right.

"We started the week well, with the FA Cup win over Wigan, and now we have to build on that. But it is a different game. A different opponent, attractive opponent, and we are really looking forward [and are] excited about this game.

"Yeah, there are many players returning on the training pitch in this week. It is very good news. Also, long-term [absentees] like Casemiro and Licha [Lisandro] Martinez are returning. Luke Shaw was not that long out and he is returning on the pitch. In the week, Christian Eriksen was not available, but he will be available, and Antony dos Santos and Amad Diallo as well. We have choices to make."
