Man Utd aiming to end sorry Tottenham record

Manchester United do not have fond memories of recent meetings with Tottenham.

Last season, they were beaten four times by Ange Postecogelou's side, culminating in the Europa League final which condemned United to having no European football this season for only the second time since 1990.

When the two sides met in London in November, United were cruising, only to concede twice in the final six minutes that meant they needed an even later Matthijs de Ligt goal to snatch a point.

United last beat Tottenham in October 2022. The seven players still at the club include Tom Heaton and Tyrell Malacia, who hardly figure these days.

If there was a good time to start addressing that lack of success, it is Saturday. United have won three games in a row under Michael Carrick, are fourth in the table and know the team two places below them (Liverpool) play the team two places above them (Manchester City) on Sunday.

Carrick will speak to the media today so he can attend the Munich air crash commemoration on Friday.

As a former Tottenham player, it will be interesting to hear his thoughts on the contest.
