Is Man Utd v Tottenham on TV? Channel guide, kick-off time, team news ahead of Premier League fixture

Manchester United have struggled with consistency once again this season, drawing at home to Newcastle over the weekend. Not only did they fail to secure the precious three points, but they have now also been charged by the FA after their players surrounded the referee Craig Pawson during the fixture.

The referee included the incident in his match report and the FA have now said United: “failed to ensure its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion.” The incident came after Pawson ruled Newcastle had not taken a free-kick before Cristiano Ronaldo raced up to take away possession from the Magpies’ goalkeeper Nick Pope and tapped it into the free net.

The referee disallowed the goal and booked Ronaldo before being surrounded by United players full of anger. Speaking in a news conference following a weekend with several other high-profile figures confronting match officials, ten Hag said: “I want to express that we have always accepted the ref’s decision and it is also quite normal you ask why in the moment. It was a curious incident and you ask as a team, why? We are an example for amateurs, for youth and professional players. It’s quite clear and we have to know our role.”

United will now look ahead to tonight’s fixture against Tottenham Hotspur who beat Everton 2-0 in their weekend Premier League fixture thanks to a penalty from Harry Kane and goal from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
