Harry Kane and Wayne Rooney face each other as Manchester United welcome Tottenham Hotspur in inaugural match of Premier League 2015/16

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur will play each other at Old Trafford as the English premier League season 2015/16 kick off.

As Louis Van Gaal prepares to start a new journey with the team, Tottenham will be looking to pick up the race from where they left off last season. With not much reinforcements arriving and the deadwoods leaving the club, Mauricio Pochettino’s faith on youth team looks to pay the dividend. Louis Van Gaal on the other hand has spent freely this summer and is expected to mount a serious title challenge with defending champions Chelsea, city rivals Manchester City and arch rivals Arsenal also trying to win the title.

Tottenham have been handed a boost ahead of the match as skipper Hugo Lloris will guard the posts while Harry Kane was rested in last friendly against AC Milan. Manchester United have been training hard to settle new signings in the team and four out of five will be featuring in the team as Schweinstieger is the only to be rested.
