On 6 Feb 2026 GMT+7, Michael Carrick, interim manager of Manchester United, revealed the latest team readiness ahead of the English Premier League 2025-26 season week 25, as they prepare to host Spurs on Saturday, 7 Feb.
Before the match, Man Utd has won 3 consecutive games since Michael Carrick took charge, sitting 4th with 41 points, while Spurs have gone 6 Premier League matches without a win, ranking 14th with 29 points.

The interim Manchester United manager spoke about Mason Mount and Matthijs De Ligt: "Mason should be ready to play sooner; he's really close to full recovery. We hope it won’t take too long."
"Matthijs De Ligt is gradually recovering, progressing step by step and improving steadily. It’s still a bit early, but we hope it won’t be too long. All players worked well this week; they stayed composed and didn’t panic about what happened. It’s a major challenge ahead."
