A shock Manchester United player has 'confirmed' he's in the matchday squad to face Tottenham and fans want Ruben Amorim to start him amid the club's injury crisis.
Man United resume their faltering Premier League campaign today when they face fellow strugglers Spurs.

Preparation hasn't been ideal as Amorim was dealt a triple injury blow in training as he has a selection dilemma on his hands.
