Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Old Trafford
Follow live coverage as Manchester United face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.

Released by a high throughball from Rashford, Fernandes strides into the area unmarked and lashes the ball past Lloris, but he barely celebrates as the assistant's flag is raised for offside.

Still, the hosts seem to have the zest which has been such a highlight of their performance. They have closed down Spurs sharply and passed the ball crisply today, and Ten Hag will surely be delighted with how things have unfolded.

GREAT STOP! Lloris is at it again; making perhaps his best save of a long series today - keeping out Rashford once again at close quarters. Not for the first time, United's number 10 should have scored, but it takes a tremendous save to deny him low down by the Frenchman.
