The managers have had their say and the players are back out for the second half with Spurs needing to claw themselves back into this one against United.

Can the Red Devils hold on and secure a huge win for Solskjaer?

Boos ring out as the halftime whistle goes and Man United lead against Spurs.

It has been a tense half with neither side creating all that much. Romero had the ball in the back of the net but it was ruled out for offside.

Ronaldo was given one chance and he took it with both hands, volleying beyond Lloris with a superb finish to put United in front in this crucial match for Solskjaer.

All to play for in the second half!

45+1 min: Big chance Spurs! Davies climbs highest to meet the delivery but can’t keep his effort down from close range.

One minute of added time.

45 mins: Lo Celso drives forward and does well to win a corner with little time remaining this first half.

44 mins: Chance Spurs! Royal does well to evade a couple of challenges and tees up Lo Celso, who lets a shot go from range but he blazes over.

43 mins: Incident here involving Ronaldo as the Portuguese puts a flailing arm in the face of Romero, which leaves the Argentine in a heap.

VAR opts not to intervene and he is given a warning by Attwell.

41 mins: Neither side have really impressed after 41 minutes but United’s individual quality has come to the fore once more and you just cannot give Ronaldo a sniff. Plenty of work to do for the hosts now.

Manchester United takes the lead in North London!

The Red Devils have had Spurs pinned into their defensive third and have made their pressure count. Bruno Fernandes picks up the ball from deep and picks out who else but Cristiano Ronaldo with a floated ball over the top.

At a tight angle, the Portuguese strikes first time across Lloris and scores!

35 mins: Chance Spurs! Son is released by Kane who is through on goal. The South Korean delays and delays and Wan-Bissaka gets back just in time to block as the flag is raised for offside against the Spurs man.

34 mins: The corner is cleared to Fernandes who overhits his cross and the ball falls away for a goal kick.

33 mins: Chance United! Fred tries his luck from range with a venomous shot, it’s got so much power and dip but Lloris reacts well to turn behind for a corner.

32 mins: Ronaldo is left in a heap after Eric Dier goes through the back of him. Attwell awards just a free kick and no booking for the defender.

30 mins: United find themselves in a really promising position as Wan-Bissaka is free as a bird to put the ball into the box, but he really wastes the opportunity and puts the ball behind his team-mates.

Spurs take the lead! Eric Dier flicks the outswinging corner towards the back post, where Cristian Romero turns home.

But the linesman has his flag up for offside against the Argentine. VAR confirms that the official was correct in his decision. It remains 0-0

27 mins: Spurs push on as Son’s run in behind is picked out again. Varane denies him a cross into the box and the hosts settle for a corner.

25 mins: Chance United! The visitors attack now as Shaw picks out a fantastic run from Fernandes. The Portuguese gets his head up and finds Cavani but the veteran cannot get his header on target and drifts his effort wide.

24 mins: Lo Celso takes and directs the ball straight into the wall. Disappointing.

Chance Spurs! Moura picks out Son with a wonderful deft chip, the South Korean only has De Gea to beat but fires over with the outside of his right boot.

23 mins: The corner comes to nothing but Spurs come again through Lo Celso who wins a free kick within shooting range after Maguire bundled the Argentine down as he advanced.

The Englishman is booked and Spurs have a chance to test De Gea now.

21 mins: Loud shouts for handball as Wan-Bissaka blocks a cross behind for a corner. Replays show it hit the back of his elbow and VAR does not intervene. Would have been harsh if that had been given.

20 mins: Shaw the first player booked after dragging down Lucas Moura after losing possession. A rugby tackle.

19 mins: Spurs struggling to play through United’s midfield, with Skipp and Hojbjerg reluctant to pull the trigger and attempt a pass through the thirds. United’s defence has been shocking at the back this season but they look pretty organised today.

15 mins: Spurs’ turn to search for an opening in the attacking third. Nice interplay between Hojbjerg and Son results in the South Korean attempting to find Kane in the box, but Lindelof reads well to clear.

Pretty tense opening 15 minutes here.

13 mins: Shaw is found in acres of space on the left, he sends a wicked ball in for Ronaldo but Romero just about gets the ball away. United’s wing backs are causing Spurs problems.

11 mins: Son drives forward for Spurs, looking to make something happen but Maguire is in forcefully to win back possession.

The ball is sent downfield for Ronaldo but Lloris is quick off his line to claim.

10 mins: McTominay blasts one from distance but his effort is blocked. Wan-Bissaka keeps the attack alive but his cross for Ronaldo is overhit and the attack fizzles out.

9 mins: Wan-Bissaka wriggles past a couple of challenges, squares the ball for Cavani who shoots first time but his effort is blocked by Dier. Better from United.

8 mins: United beat the Spurs press and come forwards. Wan-Bissaka lays the ball off for Fernandes who crosses first time for Cavani. The Uruguayan gets across Eric Dier and flicks his header wide of goal.

7 mins: Son encouraged to shoot by the crowd and takes an effort from distance, it deflects off Fred and Spurs have the first corner of the game.

The delivery is aimed towards the near post and is cleared only as far as Lo Celso, whose volley is screwed wide of goal.

6 mins: Spurs tasked with breaking United down as they probe around the visitors’ penalty area but Son loses his footing and subsequently the ball to allow United up the pitch.

3 mins: From the outset it seems like United have reverted to type and have dropped off, allowing Spurs possession and poised to counter when in control of the ball.

2 mins: A long ball is sent forward in Ronaldo’s direction but Romero does well to fend off the Portuguese superstar to win possession.

All 22 players observe a period of silence for Remembrance Day before kneeling against racism and now Stuart Attwell blows his whistle to get us under way at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Just five minutes to go until we are under way at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with plenty at stake for both clubs in this crucial Premier League clash.

Solskjaer has shuffled his pack and formation in a desperate bid to turn the tide, while Nuno will hope that a strong attacking quartet finally click in North London.

The players are in the tunnel and kick off is coming next.

We have been up and down, we have been close and far but we are getting closer to where we are. We need to add many things, creativity, mobility, better finishing, better passing, we have a chance today.

We have a good squad, we have to take advantage of all the players. The players have different characteristics, they can gel inside the team.

The Spurs boss was speaking to Sky Sports.

It’s enough talking by myself and others so the only proof is on the pitch and we need to put things right, put a good performance out there and hopefully get a result.

You will see the spirit of Man United, the spirit of these players. Performance is one thing, but we need a result as well.

We need to prove to ourselves we are a better team. Who wants to live with no pressure? Every game for this club is big but after the week we have had it is pretty big.

We have put a few more experienced players in there, we need that solid foundation to perform from. We need to control the game with and without the ball.

We need to use the full width of the pitch, we have got players like Cristiano and Edinson on the pitch together and you want them in the box together, we need to give them crosses.

Solskjaer was speaking to Sky Sports.

Daniel Levy pledged for Spurs to rediscover their DNA after a turgid season under Jose Mourinho, but the early signs from Nuno Espirito Santo are far from positive.

Here, Spurs fan Dan Ripley delivers a damning verdict of the current boss after a series of lacklustre showings in North London.

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer came out swinging on Friday night as he looks to save his job at the club.

Solskjaer saw his team thrashed 5-0 at home by Liverpool last Sunday and now they face Tottenham in north London this weekend.

Solskjaer revealed on Friday he had spoken to former United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and the club’s board this week. He insisted he had not asked for reassurances about his future.

For Spurs, Nuno makes two changes from the side that lost to West Ham last Sunday.

Sergio Reguilon is replaced at left back by Ben Davies, while Tanguy Ndombele is relegated to the bench with Giovani Lo Celso replacing the Frenchman.

Dele Alli, who did not travel for the Carabao Cup game at Burnley, is on the bench.

We were expecting changes from Solskjaer following that hammering last week, and the United boss has reverted to a back five for the trip to North London.

Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Raphael Varane have all been named in the starting XI, while Edison Cavani has been given a start alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.

Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford are on the bench today.

Hello and welcome to Sportsmail’s live coverage of Tottenham vs Manchester United in the Premier League.

After a tumultuous week, it is no wonder this clash is being dubbed ‘El Sackico’, with pressure mounting on both bosses ahead of this afternoon’s 5.30pm kick off.

United are desperate for a bounce back after their 5-0 humiliation by Liverpool last week that has left Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s job hanging by a thread.

Meanwhile, Spurs fans remain uninspired by the football on offer from new boss Nuno Espirito Santo after they lost to West Ham last weekend.

Stay tuned as we provide build up and live commentary for this afternoon’s game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Team news to come very shortly.
