Tottenham's Premier League campaign is about to get underway.
A trip to Old Trafford will prove an immediate test to Mauricio Pochettino's team, and his midfield will come under especially close scrutiny.
Manchester United have great strength in depth across the middle and, despite the loss of Angel di Maria, have improved substantially over the summer.
The transfer window has seen a reshaping of Spurs' options in the middle.
Paulinho, Etienne Capoue, Benjamin Stambouli and Lewis Holtby have all been sold, but none were regular starters last season.
Ryan Mason, Nabil Bentaleb, Nacer Chadli, Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela are all still at the club.
