Manchester United and Ruben Amorim will have another long week on the training ground after last weekend's FA Cup triumph over Leicester City. The Reds will have had nine days to prepare for their Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur leaving plenty time to prepare.
It's a must win for both teams with United and Spurs struggling in the bottom half of the table. Just two points separate the teams heading into the clash this weekend and a win for Amorim's men would see them claw back at some ground to the top-half of the table.
Defeat, however, would see the club drop closer to the relegation zone. With that in mind, here are the latest news and headlines surrounding the club:

'Can't deal with some home truths'
Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan has taken aim at Jadon Sancho after the Chelsea winger left a comment on Marcus Rashford's social media. Sancho commented: "Freedom" on a set of images shared by his former United teammate after making his debut for Aston Villa following a loan switch in the January transfer window.
When asked what he thought about the situation, Jordan told talkSPORT: "Not very much to be honest with you. I think what Jadon Sancho has to say is not particularly relevant to Marcus Rashford's situation. I don’t think he’s covered himself in glory.
"He’s had a few decent games for Chelsea but other than that, a few decent games for Dortmund. But his career has gone backwards, he’s responsible for it not anyone else and this is the sort of atypical response from people that always like to align other people with the blame or their current failings.
"I think it's a sad indication of where United have gotten to to think that people can speak about the club in this way. I think the underlying message is that you’re out of the awful place that Man United has become.
"A place that has been created by the culture of players there and I would suggest that players like Jadon Sancho who only like it when they’re told all the good things. They can’t really deal with any home truths or they can’t have any consequences for their actions because if they do, they don’t like it."
The Manchester Evening News says: "Simon Jordan rarely pulls any punches when it comes to speaking his mind and it was indeed a strange social media interaction from a player still technically employed by Manchester United - even if his move to Chelsea becomes permanent at the end of the season. It looks best for all involved if the pair's time at the club comes to an end this summer."
Playing like prime Bellingham
Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand says Scott McTominay is playing like a prime Jude Bellingham at Napoli, highlighting a number of former Reds' stars to improve after leaving Old Trafford. Speaking on the Rio Presents podcast, the six-time Premier League winner said: "You look at Antony, he's got a man-of-the-match performance and a goal and assist in two games.
"McTominay is playing like primetime Jude Bellingham at the moment. You've got Elanga, who's a flying winger.
"You've got all these players that are leaving the club that are looking like new, dynamic footballers because the shackles are off, and the cloud and the pressure of Old Trafford, the badge, all that that brings, is allowing them to go, 'You know what, wow, what a difference that is'.
"You're probably going to see the same from Rashford. It's about unlocking what has unlocked Old Trafford for these players to perform."
The Manchester Evening News says: "If Rashford is to be a success away from Old Trafford, questions will rightly be raised about pressure at Old Trafford. But players also need to take a look at themselves. Too many of them haven't cut it at United in recent years and the club has moved them on."
