Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United — Combined XI | Premier League 2020/21

Attack: Son Heung-Min, Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford

Tottenham Hotspur v Crystal Palace - Premier League

Much like the attacking midfield slot, this combined XI's attack was another easy selection with Son Heung-Min, Harry Kane, and Marcus Rashford taking up the final three positions.

Son began the campaign in incredible fashion after becoming the 28th player in Premier League history to score four goals or more in a game as he ran riot over Southampton. Son also went on to score vital goals such as his stunner against Arsenal in the North London derby and a brace against United in their 6-1 rout at Old Trafford.

The South Korean international also has nine assists to go with his 13 goals in the league this season, giving him a clear edge over most of the other wide forwards across either side, including Lucas Moura, Daniel James, and others. He is set to play on the opposite side to Manchester United academy graduate and star forward Marcus Rashford.

The English attacker has been in fine form this season having scored 20 goals in all competitions with a further 12 assists. Rashford has ten goals and seven assists to show for in the league alone, making him the most productive wide forward for Manchester United. The 23-year-old has been vital for the Red Devils this season and, much like Son, is an easy choice for this role.

The two wide forwards will play on either side of Tottenham Hotspur superstar Harry Kane. After two successive seasons during which he failed to breach the 20-goal barrier, the striker has returned to his breathtaking best.

Kane has been one of the most devastating centre-forwards in world football this season as he marches towards a record-breaking Premier League campaign.

The 27-year-old has already racked up 19 goals and 13 assists — the most for both in the league this year — and could potentially become the first man since Thierry Henry in 2002/03 to score and assist 20 goals in the same league season. His ruthlessness in front of goal and near-unparallelled sense of positioning in the final third makes him one of the biggest threats for any side to deal with.

Kane is arguably the first name on the teamsheet across both sides and will lead the combined XI between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur as the centre-forward.
