Shock results in Man Utd & Spurs combined XI!
A look at a Manchester United and Tottenham combined XI, with surprise as the north Londoners come out on top…
GK: Hugo Lloris
With David de Gea already basicaly out of the door, there’s no doubt Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris comes out on top against Victor Valdes and Sergio Romero.
DR: Matteo Darmian
A fine signing at right-back, Manchester United new-boy Matteo Darmian looks comfortably ahead of Spurs’ options such as Kyle Walker in that position.
DL: Danny Rose
Based on last season’s form, Danny Rose is certainly a better performer at left-back right now than United youngster Luke Shaw, who still has much to prove after his big-money move to Old Trafford.

Manchester United transfer rumours
DC: Toby Alderweireld
One of the best defenders in the Premier League last season, Toby Alderweireld is a superb signing by Spurs, and one United could really have done with themselves.
DC: Jan Vertonghen
With United so weak in central defence, Tottenham’s Jan Vertonghen is another name from Mauricio Pochettino’s side to get into this combined XI.
MC: Morgan Schneiderlin
A player Tottenham also wanted, Morgan Schneiderlin is an exciting signing for United in defensive midfield this summer.
MC: Bastian Schweinsteiger
Another big name in the United midfield, Bastian Schweinsteiger is certainly in ahead of Tottenham’s current central midfield options.
AMR: Memphis Depay
A top class young talent, Memphis Depay joins United from PSV this summer and is comfortably in ahead of players like Erik Lamela and Andros Townsend.
AML: Christian Eriksen
One of the best creative players in England last season, Spurs star Christian Eriksen is an excellent player who’d get into most top sides in Europe.
AMC: Juan Mata
Just behind the main striker, there are few better than United star Juan Mata, who has consistently been one of the best in the Premier League since his arrival.
FC: Harry Kane
Currently a better option than an over-the-hill Wayne Rooney, Harry Kane scored an amazing 31 goals for Tottenham last season and gets the nod in our combined lineup.
