Manchester United return to Premier League action this weekend with an away trip to Tottenham Hotspur
Manchester United find themselves in 8th position in the Premier League table. They have 17 points on the board from their first 10 fixtures. The Red Devils drew 2-2 away at Nottingham Forest last time out with Casemiro and Amad Diallo getting their goals at the City Ground.
Ruben Amorim’s side are unbeaten in their last four games and are proving to be a tough team to beat at the moment. They are back in action this weekend as they look to keep their momentum going. A trip to London to play Tottenham Hotspur lies in store for them on Saturday afternoon.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United score prediction shared by Chris Sutton
United take on a Spurs side who lost 1-0 at home to Chelsea in their last league game. They are only a point above the Red Devils in the league. Thomas Frank was picked as their replacement for Ange Postecoglou in the summer after catching the eye at Brentford.
Former Norwich City, Blackburn Rovers and Chelsea striker Chris Sutton has shared his prediction for the match, as per a report by BBC Sport: “It's hard to know how to view Tottenham at the moment, especially at home where they have been pretty underwhelming in the Premier League so far. Spurs have taken only one point from their past four league games in their own stadium since beating Burnley on the opening weekend of the season, including last week's defeat by Chelsea when a couple of their players gave Thomas Frank the cold shoulder afterwards.
“They did beat Copenhagen comfortably there in the Champions League on Tuesday, but it is still hard to make a case for them to overcome Manchester United because I am not really sure where their goals are going to come from. Mind you, I am still not convinced by United either. There is no doubt they have shown strong signs of improvement but I still don't fully trust them to turn up, especially on the road.
“Tottenham beat United four times last season, including in the Europa League final. This time? If I had to pick a winner I would actually back United, but I don't - so I am going for a draw.”
Can Manchester United return to winning ways against Tottenham Hotspur?
Amorim has managed to get a tune out of his players recently after a tough start to the campaign. He delved into the market over the summer to bring in the likes of Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko to add more firepower to his ranks. The new additions have started to gel together nicely and the Red Devils are looking a real threat going forward.
They have the chance to add some more players to their squad in January. They also have the opportunity to let some individuals head out the exit door as well if needed. That would help free up space and funds to pave the way for potential reinforcements.
