Lausanne game hints at Manchester United's attacking changes against Spurs
Summary

Manchester United's lackluster start in the Premier League, earning five points from five matches, has prompted head coach Michael Carrick to evaluate his attacking strategy. A recent closed-door friendly against Lausanne-Sport revealed that Amad was not involved, raising concerns about his fitness ahead of the crucial match against Spurs. Carrick may consider starting Shea Lacey on the right wing with Bryan Mbeumo up front and Matheus Cunha on the left, following a series of struggles with their current attacking trio. United looks to address its offensive issues as the international break allows for re-evaluation of tactics before facing Tottenham next week.
