Tottenham, however, have only picked won once in their last five games in the league.
But Ryan Mason will be hoping he can inspire the team after he took charge of the team on an interim basis for the second time.
However, it is a tough ask as Spurs have only beaten United once in their last eight attempts.
In fact, Tottenham have not beaten United at home since 2018 when Christian Eriksen and an own goal from Phil Jones handed them victory.

Who will be the star men?
Marcus Rashford will be the player to watch for the Red Devils.
The forward has been in fantastic form this season having netted 27 goals in all competitions this season.
The England international has scored four goals in 13 appearances against Spurs, and has come out on the winning side nine times.
And he will be eyeing up more against Tottenham’s fragile defence.
For the hosts, the star will likely be Harry Kane. The England captain netted in the heavy defeat to Newcastle as he continued his fine form in front of goal this season.
Kane has fired in 24 goals in 32 league appearances this season as he continues to prove his importance to Spurs.
However, his record against United leaves much to be desired.
In 18 games facing the Red Devils, the striker has only scored five goals and provided two assists.
This could be a perfect chance for Kane to audition for his potential new employers, with United keen on signing him this summer.

Welcome to Tottenham vs Man Utd
Cancel your Thursday night plans football lovers as we have round two of London vs Manchester – and it’s safe to say that Manchester is winning the battle so far.
SunSport’s live blog coverage provides readers with out-of-form Spurs taking on FA Cup finalists Manchester United in an all-out war for the top four.
Going by form, you’d have to put United as the favourites because the Red Devils immediately bounced back from their Sevilla defeat by securing themselves a spot in the FA Cup final at the expense of Brighton.
While Spurs can’t seem to buy a win at the moment.
They were stunned by relegation-threatened Bournemouth almost a fortnight ago and then the North London club got humiliated 6-1 in Newcastle which led to the sacking of Cristian Stellini.
But both sides have to forget about form when it comes to a game with such magnitude as this one.
And SunSport will have the build-up, team news and starting line-ups all before kick-off at 8:15pm UK time.
