5 talking points ahead of Tottenham vs Manchester United
By Jake Cole
2. The History
It is fair to say that Tottenham must hate playing against Manchester United, as it very rarely ends well for them, especially at home.
The truth is that United always seem to turn their game up against Tottenham and in the times of Sir Alex Ferguson it would usually be an automatic three points before the game had even started. It would either be a hammering or Tottenham would take a surprise lead and United would come back and destroy them.

United are still one of the biggest teams in world football, despite their recent troubles, and have been for many years. Whereas Tottenham have had their glory moments in the past, but are yet to reach the heights of United, who are easily the best team in English history.
However, the tide seems to be changing and Tottenham’s results against United in recent years haven’t been so doom and gloom. A lot of people will agree that Tottenham no longer fear the stature of United, as they aren’t even close to being the team they were under Sir Alex. This history mixed with the present day makes for a really good match up for these two teams on Sunday as anything could happen and it is very hard to predict.
