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.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

SHARP STOP! Following a clear foul by Romero around 20 yards out from goal, Fernandes whips a free-kick at goal, which Lloris flamboyantly flips over the crossbar with his fingertips. It's United versus Lloris at the moment!

SAVE! Lloris makes another crucial stop, as Rashford spurns a great chance to open the scoring! The latter is released through the centre by a Fred throughball, but fires his low shot too close to the Spurs captain, who repels it behind for a corner.

A delicious ball from deep by Kane finds Doherty in an advanced position on the right flank, the Irishman cuts inside and unleashes a left-footed shot, which flies a yard wide of the far post.

Sancho finds his route into the box blocked, and when the ball then drops to Shaw on the left, his cross is coolly chested back to Lloris by Perisic from no more than six yards out.

After withstanding some strong pressure, Spurs enjoy a short spell of possession and territorial advantage. It doesn't last long, though, and they are on the back foot again soon afterwards.
