Tottenham vs Manchester United fixture Sunday tonight at 9 pm IST will be played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Jose’s side will look to win once again somehow but the Manchester United side looks at winning ways as well.
Last time, Tottenham humiliate a ten-man Manchester United side 6-1 at Old Trafford. Tottenham is currently seventh in the league table. Meanwhile, Manchester United strengthened their grip on second with their 2-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion, which was followed by a 2-0 win over Granada in Europe. They are still 14 points off of leaders Manchester City. Jose Mourinho’s men squandered a great opportunity to close that gap down last weekend when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Newcastle United and will be hoping to return to winning ways on Sunday.
Tottenham Hotspur
Serge Aurier and Sergio Reguilon take up the full-back slots. There is no looking past club captain Hugo Lloris between the sticks for Tottenham. Joe Rodon was one of the few players that impressed for Tottenham against Newcastle last time out and should hold on to his place.
“I believe that 6-1 doesn’t show the reality,” he said. “It can happen. Of course, it can happen, the results they can happen in an isolated way. If [Ole Gunnar] Solskjaer is going to use that result I don’t know. If it was the opposite. If it was my team losing 6-1 to them I would just say to my guys that it happened once and it’s not going to happen twice.“ said Jose Mourinho
Manchester United
Rashford and Mason Greenwood will be the two wide players on the left and right sides, respectively. The Brazilian should have Paul Pogba as his partner in the double pivot, while Bruno Fernandes takes the creative mantle in the No. 10 role, with support coming in from Pogba. With Anthony Martial unavailable, Edinson Cavani becomes the automatic pick up top for Manchester United.
United manager Solskjaer said: “Yeah, I think the players will remember that game with a lot of pain.
Our pride was hurt. The manner in which we lost, we were not ourselves, and we know that. We gave ourselves a difficult game by having 10 men. Pre-season was short and we were not up to the standard required, but we were so poor.
“I’m sure we will see some players looking to prove that they are better than that. The biggest thing we have improved on is our fitness levels. We were way short of them. It was our third game of the season.
