On Wednesday, from 19:30pm, Manchester United receive Tottenham’s visit, in the 15th round of the Premier League. Jose Mourinho returns to Old Trafford from the position of opponent, in front of a team that is just on the waterline. “Devils” play poorly for the club’s demands and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is increasingly feeling the pressure of dismissal.
Without Bailly, Dalot, Fosu-Mensah, Pogba, Rojo, McTominay and Matic, Solskjaer has to find solutions in front of an opponent who has been causing United problems in recent years. With Eriksen, Alli, Son, Kane and Moura in good shape, Spurs is very busy on Old Trafford, where he is sure he will score! Davies, Lamela, Lloris and Vorm will be missing from the London camp. For the Portuguese manager of Spurs, the match with Manchester United brings a special motivation.
Mourinho coached Manchester United, along with winning the UEFA Europa League trophy, but The Special One was not retained because of modest results. However, since Mou’s departure, the “devils” have not found their way and now have a mediocre balance in the championship. United are in 9th place (21-17), while Tottenham are 5 (24-21). Last stage, Man. United drew at home with Aston Villa, score 2-2, after losing the duel in UEL with Astana (1-2) and equalized on the field of Sheffield United (3-3).
Defensive seems to be the nexus of the reds, who meet a team on the wave! Pochettino was replaced after a 1-1 draw with Sheffield United, and Mourinho has three victories in all matches as coach at Tottenham: 3-2 with West Ham, 4-2 with Olympiacos and 3-2 with Bournemouth. The offensive game of the Londoners is at its height and this will be seen on Wednesday. At the last visit to Old Trafford, in 2018, Tottenham won 3-0, after a superb match made by Kane and Moura. We expect to see an alert pace, because in the matches of the two they register late, in the last quarter of an hour.
PROBABLE TEAMS AT MANCHESTER UNITED – TOTTENHAM
Manchester United: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Williams; McTominay, Fred; James, Lingard, Rashford; Martial
Tottenham Hotspur: Gazzaniga; Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Rose; Dier, Winks; Sissoko, Alli, Son; Kane
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,58
