Perhaps the most intriguing game of the opening weekend of the season is the very first clash of the campaign, between Manchester United and Spurs, which kicks off at 12.45pm on Saturday at Old Trafford.

The match will see home debuts for several of United's summer signings, but the biggest question concerns who will be in goal for United after it was revealed that David de Gea would not be playing as rumours of a move to Real Madrid continue to swirl. The Spanish keeper is finding it hard "to manage his situation" according to United boss Louis van Gaal.
