The Reds have not played a competitive game since beating LASK back on 12 March, but the entire squad worked diligently throughout the ensuing lockdown period and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was pleased by the condition of his players when they returned to the Aon Training Complex in late May.
United have recently played a series of practice matches in an effort to build sharpness, including a couple of beneficial friendlies against West Bromwich Albion at Old Trafford last Friday. It is hoped those dress rehearsals will have a positive impact when the real action resumes this weekend.
Tottenham were last in action on 10 March and their preparations for this week's big match have been mixed, after they lost to Norwich City before a second friendly against Reading was cancelled.
