Tottenham vs Manchester United Preview
Man United appear to be steadily grasping Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 tactics, but their squad’s viability remains on a knife edge as he grapples with a group of players not suited for the approach. Against Manchester City united had trailed to Josko Gvardiol’s header, before Amad Diallo won a penalty for Bruno Fernandes to score, and then scored a last-gasp winner of his own. Tottenham Hotspur ended their disappointing run of results with an emphatic 5-0 win at Southampton on the weekend, ultimately resulting in the dismissal of Russell Martin as manager of the Saints. Spurs’ biggest weakness under Ange Postecoglou has been getting back in transition, and sporting a thin back line without both Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, they could be under fire. Ange Postecoglou has been bullish this season, adamant that he always wins a trophy in his second year in charge.
Amorim is only seven games into his United tenure and will take heart from beating their local rivals last time out. both teams will come in with as strong a lineup as possible, knowing this competition is their chance to salvage an already lost season. Spurs, especially, have little choice but to play their best available players given significant injury limitations.
