Manchester United this afternoon welcome Tottenham to Old Trafford in the Premier League with both teams in need of what would be a big result.
After a reasonably promising run, the mood music around United has changed of late. Erik ten Hag’s side were held to a 0-0 draw by Crystal Palace last time out in the league before drawing 1-1 with FC Twente in the Europa League.

A run of three games without a victory would pile even more pressure on the Dutchman, who is yet to fully convince in the dugout despite being awarded a new contract ahead of his third season in charge.
Spurs, meanwhile, overcame Brentford last time in the League before then picking up an opening European win, beating Qarabag 3-0 despite playing more than 80 minutes with ten men after Radu Dragusin’s red card.

Man Utd vs Tottenham is scheduled for 4.30pm BST today, Sunday, September 29, 2024.

Manchester United vs Tottenham prediction
A battle of two teams who frustrate at both ends of the pitch. Manchester United and Spurs have the firepower to hurt any team but struggle to do so when the time comes.
Both teams showed in Europe in midweek that they can be guilty of inexplicable defensive decisions. This could be 0-0 or 4-4.
As Spurs have won just twice on the road in the league this calendar year and, no matter Ten Hag’s tactical shortcomings, Old Trafford remains a tough place to win, we’ll plump for a score draw.
Draw, 1-1.
