Brutal record: Carrick must stop Tottenham star with 5 goals in 4 games vs Man United

Manchester United caretaker head coach Michael Carrick faces a major tactical test as he looks to mastermind a victory over Tottenham Hotspur today.

Spurs will arrive at Old Trafford full of belief after grinding out a hard-fought draw against Manchester City last weekend.

The Cityzens were cruising at 2-0 by half-time before Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke turned the contest on its head with a stunning brace.

The 28-year-old has been in red-hot form since returning from injury.
