Manchester United v Tottenham: TV details, ticket info, kick-off time, betting odds, predicted teams

De Gea has been linked with a move to Madrid all summer and although no deal is reported to be imminent, the issue hangs over the Spain international. Van Gaal said he would not consider De Gea for selection while Madrid's interest in his player remains unresolved. It seems Sergio Romero or Sam Johnstone will make their first appearance for the club in De Gea's absence. Midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger and defender Marcos Rojo are unavailable as they lack match fitness.

In their final pre-season friendlies, Spurs lost 2-0 to Real Madrid on Tuesday before beating AC Milan by the same scoreline a day later. That unusual schedule so close to their opening Premier League fixture prompted concerns about their conditioning, but manager Mauricio Pochettino remained relaxed and said that his only fitness doubts surrounded Ryan Mason, Roberto Soldado and Hugo Lloris. The goalkeeper only returned from a fractured wrist in midweek during Spurs' 2-0 friendly victory over AC Milan, while striker Soldado and midfielder Mason also face late fitness tests. Winger Andros Townsend remains a doubt and striker Emmanuel Adebayor, who is yet to complete his proposed transfer to Aston Villa, is unlikely to feature. Defenders Toby Alderweireld, Kevin Wimmer and Kieran Trippier are available to make their debuts.

Louis van Gaal: "De Gea will not play. A player is also a human being. He cannot manage that. We will have to see who starts. Schweinsteiger also came at the last moment so I don't think he's fit enough. We have to build his fitness. It is not possible for (Marcos) Rojo to be match fit either as he was the last player to come back from holiday."

Mauricio Pochettino on losing 3-0 at Old Trafford last March. "My feeling was real disappointment. We went in with real confidence but in the first 20 minutes we killed the game. Our performance wasn't good enough but this is a good opportunity to change that. We are feeling good after victory against AC Milan in the Audi Cup and I'm very excited. But Manchester United have improved a lot, signed a lot of good players, and it is a tough game for us."
