Teddy Sheringham predicts Manchester United vs Tottenham as former clubs collide

Teddy Sheringham has suggested the situation around Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Maguire may be acting as a distraction for Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.

Ex-United frontman Sheringham was speaking ahead of the Red Devils' Premier League meeting with Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday. In addition to winning the treble with United in 1999, the 56-year-old scored more than 100 goals for Spurs across two different spells in north London.

There has been plenty of chatter around Ronaldo and Maguire this season, with two of last year's regular starters no longer guaranteed a starting spot. Maguire's recent injury-related absence has seen attention turn elsewhere - including on Ronaldo, who didn't appear to take kindly to being substituted in Sunday's goalless draw with Newcastle United.
