Manchester United and Tottenham set for Old Trafford clash

Published 10 October 2026

Manchester United and Tottenham are scheduled to meet at Old Trafford on Saturday, October 10, with both teams looking to improve after poor starts to the Premier League season. Kickoff is set for 5:30 p.m. BST. The supplied previews do not report a match result, so the fixture remains a scheduled event in the available information. Manchester United had five points from their first five league matches before the fixture, while Tottenham had two and were bottom of the table. Tottenham had not won in those opening five games and failed to score in their first four. Their first league goals came in a 3-2 defeat by Aston Villa before the international break. The match brings together managers Michael Carrick and Roberto De Zerbi, whose teams entered the weekend under pressure to produce better results. Carrick was seeking a stronger run from United after a modest return from their opening fixtures. De Zerbi had called for improvement in Tottenham’s attacking play following the team’s lack of goals. United had injury concerns ahead of the game.
