Baleba set for potential debut as United face Spurs

Summary

Manchester United is set to host Tottenham Hotspur on October 10, with Carlos Baleba in contention for his first competitive start. The match will kick off at 5:30 PM. Baleba has reportedly improved his training during the international break, preparing for a possible debut while Tottenham remains winless this season. The choice to include Baleba may require Michael Carrick to adjust the midfield, likely affecting Youri Tielemans' position in the starting XI.
