Tottenham vs Manchester United LIVE: Carabao Cup result and updates as Dominic Solanke puts Spurs ahead

Ruben Amorim responds to Marcus Rashford’s comments on Manchester United’s future

Tottenham host Manchester United in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup, with both teams looking to take another step towards their first major final of the season.

Ange Postecoglou’s side sit 10th in the Premier League after a string of mixed results, and the 2008 edition of the competition marks the last time Spurs won a trophy.

Despite last weekend’s derby win, United are still lower in the table and Ruben Amorim will be aware of the benefits of having gone far in the competition in his first season as manager.

The big news before kick-off is that Marcus Rashford is not in United’s squad, just days after saying in an interview that he was ready for a “new challenge” outside the club.

Amorim left Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho out of his squad to face Manchester City last weekend and although Garnacho is on the bench, Rashford did not travel to London.

HALFTIME! Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd

And that’s halftime. Spurs lead through Dominic Solanke’s finish after Bayindir parried a Porro shot straight at the Tottenham striker.

That being said, United handled the hosts pretty well, but they lacked a bit of quality in the final third itself. In the second half they have to find answers.

Lindelof has fallen and is being treated by Man Utd physiotherapists. Lindelof looks dejected and trudges off the pitch – he has only just returned from injury and collapsed again.

He goes straight into the tunnel, taking off his shirt as he goes, and seems pretty upset. You have to have compassion for him. At centre-back comes the ageless Jonny Evans, who was with United when they played Spurs in the final of this competition in 2009.

Two minutes of added time at the end of this first half.

Gray heads back to score a Man Utd corner. Eriksen’s cross is low and Spence decides to block it with his knee for another corner rather than perhaps letting Martinez have the ball.

Eriksen’s corner from the other side is low again and Martinez defends the ball back, but shoots harmlessly into the goal for a goal kick.

Fernandes hits a cross with the outside of his right foot towards the back post, but the cross is a few inches in front of Eriksen, who can’t quite get there. United look somewhat threatening without really creating a clear chance.

Spurs will be happy if they go into half-time with a 1-0 lead.

Another Fernandes run over the top and this time it’s Antony who catches him with the long ball. He comes into the penalty area, but his cross-kick is blocked by Spurs.

Then Fernandes gets the ball back and tries his luck from outside the penalty area, but the ball goes just past the post and Forster still comes to the cover.

CLOSE! Tottenham 1-0 Man Utd, 36 mins

Almost an own goal from Ugarte! A tangle of legs on the edge of the United penalty area ends with Son able to pass the ball to Kulusevski. He beats back and forth to Lindelof before pushing the ball across the six-yard box and Ugarte is at full speed to put the ball behind him but just misses the post. He didn’t know where this would lead when he struck and Bayindir stood rooted to the spot!

After the corner, Solanke tries to claim he was brought down in the penalty area, but nothing happens.

Nice shot from Solanke to Son, giving the Spurs captain some space to get forward. The ball goes wide to the right, but Dalot attacks Kulusevski and clears the danger.

Porro then tries a long through ball to Son, but he goes a little too far and Bayindir can run off his line and secure the ball

The Spurs find themselves in a small gap defensively as Spence suddenly has to dribble past the men at his own corner flag before he back-heeling the ball to a teammate. United win the ball from around 30 meters away, but the cross is easily blocked.

However, Spurs won’t want to mess around that much.

Mazraoui now joins Sarr as he rushes forward and catches Spence as they aim for a 50-50 ball hatch, which the Spurs man reaches first. Clear yellow card.

Spurs miss the free kick and suddenly Kulusevski rolls past Fernandes and hits the ball into the goal, but Bayindir makes a good stop with his leg at the near post. There was some power behind this shot, but the goalkeeper was equal to it.
