Manchester United handed massive fitness boost ahead of must-win Tottenham clash
Manchester United need a result
The next three Manchester United fixtures are, quite literally, make or break for current boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
After overseeing one of the most humiliating defeats of the Premier League era last Sunday, 5-0 at home at the hands of Liverpool, his future is in doubt.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is expected to remain in charge as #MUFC manager despite their heavy defeat at the hands of Liverpool.

As per Jason Burt, of The Telegraph, Solskjaer has three games to save his job, namely the Premier League ties against Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, and the Champions League tie against Bergamo outfit Atalanta.
They are the most important games of his coaching career.

The centre-back limped out of France’s Nations League campaign with a hamstring problem, and has been sidelined since. However, in the photos released by the club this afternoon, the summer addition is clearly visible training with the rest of the squad.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has already come under fire for rushing Harry Maguire back from injury, with the defender arguably at fault for over half of the goals that the club have conceded since his return against Leicester City.
Given the magnitude of the game for his own future however, it would not be at all surprising to see the United boss do the same with Raphael Varane, who offers some much needed calm at the back of Manchester United’s side.
Would he be enough to get them a positive result on Saturday evening?
