      Maguire is sidelined with injury and instead, Luke Shaw has shifted over to centre-back.
      And covering at left-back is Diogo Dalot, despite regularly playing on the right.
      Shaw partners Victor Lindelof with Raphael Varane also out with an ankle injury that threatens to rule him out for the rest of the season.
      And Lisandro Martinez has already been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign following a broken metatarsal bone in his foot.

      It is not the first time Shaw has moved to a central position this season, having played there numerous times.
      Erik ten Hag told BT Sport Maguire was left out because of a “training injury”.
      United are five points above fifth-placed Aston Villa – with three games in hand.
      And they also sit six points ahead of hosts Spurs, who are without a win in three following consecutive defeats.

      Asked if the game is a good opportunity to strengthen United’s position in the top four, Ten Hag said: “Yes it is when you see the table.
      “But we have to think about the game. We have to show we are very hungry, play on the front foot and show that we are determined.”
      United went on to blow a two goal lead after Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford made it 2-0 before half time.
      But Pedro Porro and Son Heung-min helped Spurs fightback to earn a point.

      The 29-year-old is thought to be a target for Manchester United.
      But Redknapp has suggested a controversial switch to Tottenham’s bitter rivals Chelsea could suit Kane instead.
      Mauricio Pochettino, who previously coached Kane at Spurs, is on the verge of joining the Blues as manager.
      When asked about Kane’s future, Redknapp told the Beyond The Pitch podcast: “It will be interesting if Pochettino goes to Chelsea.

      “That wouldn’t go down very well with the Tottenham fans, that’s for sure. But you never know if Pochettino’s there.
      “I’m sure Harry got on well with him [at Spurs].
      “And it’s a great move for him. I think he’s [Harry Kane] building a new house in that area.
      “He’s a family man and he’d be happier not moving to the north of England or wherever he’d have to go.”

      Redknapp went on to say he can’t see Kane leaving the Premier League.
      The England captain is on 207 Prem strikes – just 53 behind Alan Shearer’s all-time record.
      And Redknapp reckons Kane could even end up penning a new deal and staying at Spurs, where has has been since the age of 11.
      Redknapp concluded: “I’ve personally got a feeling he’ll stay and sign a new contract. I may be wrong but I think he could stay at Tottenham.”
      That is the same view as Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher, who doesn’t believe Spurs chairman Daniel Levy will accept a bid for Kane this summer.
      The Tottenham chief previously rebuffed Manchester City’s approach for Kane in the summer of 2021. More

      And fans are now convinced Rangnick wants to follow his fellow German to north London as he went on record strongly advising chairman Daniel Levy to hire a sporting director.
      The Austria manager held that position at Red Bull Salzburg, RB Leipzig as well as Lokomotiv Moscow, and was even supposed to work in that capacity at United after his stint ended last summer.
      Rangnick told Sky Sports: “If Tottenham really want Julian Nagelsmann, it’d be important to have a sporting director there to support him.
      “This is not a club where they expect you to be in the top immediately. So it could be a very, very exciting story”.

      Fans are certain Rangnick issued a “come-and-get-me” plea to Levy with that interview.
      And a raft of Tottenham supporters are keen to see that partnership next season.

      One fan tweeted: “Rangnick and Nagelsmann would be quite the formidable duo at #Tottenham.”
      Another commented: “I’ma be honest. If Tottenham get Rangnick alongside Nagelsmann, I definitely see them winning silverware.”

      “That has to change next season, then I really want to play weekly again. I haven’t spoken to the club management yet, so just wait and see what happens.
      “But it is clear that this role does not match my expectations.”

      BILD reported that the central midfielder was unable to hide his smile when asked about the rumour of him joining Liverpool.
      Jurgen Klopp is desperate to revamp his ageing midfield with some new talent.
      Liverpool have turned their attention on the midfielder, after dropping out of the transfer race for Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham.

      by

      But now Ratcliffe is ready to make an offer likely to infuriate United fans who are desperate to get rid of their owners of 18 years.
      And that could see some fans shifting their support to Qatari banker Sheikh Jasin bin Hamad al-Thani, who still plans to make a bid for a £5.5bn-plus deal when he makes his third offer on Friday.
      Sir Jim’s potential gambit would see him still take a controlling stake of more than 50 per cent of the club but allow co-chairmen Joel and Avram Glazer to retain their combined 20 per cent stake.
      Such a deal would be likely to cause consternation from the majority of United supporters, who have made their anger and frustration towards the Glazers abundantly clear.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      But it may prove to be the preferred option for the duo, whose desire to remain at the club appears to have grown in recent months.
      Sheikh Jassim still intends to bid for full control of the club, while four hedge funds, including Elliott Management and the Carlyle group, will make offer of cash injections to fund future development.
      However the new Ratcliffe move could prove a game-changer, even if the prospect of a continued Glazer involvement does bring a backlash from supporters.
      Earlier this month, Gary Neville raged at reports that American financial group Carlyle could be set to make a major investment in Man Utd.

      The US based private equity firm is reportedly pitching to take a minority stake in the club.
      United legend Neville, who has been vocal about the Glazers, was not happy with the news and vented his frustration on Twitter alongside a picture of the firm’s mission statement.
      He said: “No thank you! This doesn’t work for United! The Glazer PR machine keeps leaking this type of minority partnership out there bi-weekly whilst stressing it’s a confidential process. Full Sale Only.” More

      But Monaco do have him tied down to a deal until 2027 – so they hold the cards when it comes to negotiating a transfer fee.
