Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag issues an update on the club's injury situation ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur.

Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag is expecting to have the same squad available from Wednesday's clash with FC Twente for Sunday's Premier League fixture against Tottenham Hotspur.

The Red Devils were again missing Victor Lindelof for the Europa League contest with Twente, with the Sweden international yet to feature this season due to a toe problem.

Lindelof is now back in training, but Ten Hag is not expecting to have the centre-back available against Spurs, while Luke Shaw, Leny Yoro and Tyrell Malacia also remain on the sidelines.

"Any comebacks for Sunday? No, I think it will be the same group as yesterday," Ten Hag told reporters during his pre-match press conference on Thursday afternoon.

Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount are now back in the fold after recent injuries, and the pair will be in contention to start against Spurs this weekend.

Man United to again be missing four players vs. Tottenham

Ten Hag admitted that he has been "impatient" with his side's inconsistency, with the Red Devils only winning three of their eight matches across all competitions this season.

"I am impatient, I want to go straight forward. But also be fair, we had success in the last two seasons and we have to work very hard for more success," he added.

"You have to assess the situation, still we are working and progressing. We made a choice to sign very young players like last year with Hojlund and this year with [Joshua] Zirkzee and Leny Yoro.

"We believe in them, for this moment and also the future. But also I am impatient. I want to go straight forward. But we had success in the last two seasons and we have to work hard to bring more success.

"Not scoring goals. That is the problem, the key area is to score more goals as a team. We have players across the team who have the ability to score, that is clear, you see all the opportunities we are creating but we are not scoring enough."

Ten Hag backs Fernandes amid criticism

Ten Hag also defended his captain Bruno Fernandes, with the Portugal international facing criticism this season due to some disappointing performances.

"I think the team brings in now the situation," Ten Hag added. "I think he [Fernandes] is capable, I think he has proven this so many years already in the Premier League that he can create many chances and I am convinced this season he will not do differently this season.

"He will come on this point and find his form, he will make final passes and score goals, 100%. And it's just a matter of time."

Man United have drawn their last two matches, sharing the points with Crystal Palace in the league last weekend before playing out a 1-1 draw with Twente in the Europa League.

The Red Devils are currently 11th in the Premier League table, boasting a record of two wins, one draw and two defeats from five matches to collect seven points.
