Tottenham and Manchester United are set to face each other in a crucial match during the second round of the English Premier League. Both teams have had a lackluster start to the season, with their attacks lacking sharpness and relying on central defenders to contribute goals.
In their opening game, Tottenham allowed Brentford to secure a 2-2 draw. This match marked the absence of Harry Kane, who recently made a move to Bayern Munich for a record-breaking fee. It was actually the defensive duo of Romero and Emerson who found the back of the net for Tottenham, but their efforts were not enough to secure a victory for the team.
The upcoming match between Tottenham and Manchester United is expected to be evenly contested. On the other hand, Manchester United had to put in a great deal of effort to secure a 1-0 win against Wolves at Old Trafford, with Raphael Varane scoring the only goal of the game. The home team also had their rookie goalkeeper Andre Onana, formerly of Inter, to thank for his excellent performance, as he made six crucial saves to deny the opponents.
This match presents an opportunity for both teams to improve their current standings. In the previous season, Manchester United only managed to win eight matches out of 19 away appearances. On the other hand, Tottenham has only been able to defeat Manchester United once in their last ten meetings, which happened to be a resounding 6-1 victory at Old Trafford.
