When Tottenham and Manchester United meet in Premier League action, it is more than likely that goals will be rattling left, right, and centre. The upcoming clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is not only the latest installment in what has become a classic rivalry, but it’s also a game that means a huge deal for both teams.
Tottenham vs. Manchester United tickets are still available, and as the top four race hots up, it’s a game that fans will not want to miss, so why not check out what’s available via SeatPick to avoid missing out on such a crucial fixture?
Antonio Conte led Tottenham to a top-four finish in 2021-22 despite the North London side being in ninth place when he took over last November. This time around, he had done a fairly decent job keeping the club in the running, but he nonetheless left the club in March, and his former assistant, Cristian Stellini, is now in charge until the end of the season.
They secured a crucial win at home to Brighton in their last fixture, a game that saw the south-coast side rightly aggrieved about some officiating mistakes. However, that will matter little to Spurs as they seek to force their way into the top four.
They are unbeaten in four games, and if we are to accept that Arsenal and Manchester City are safely ensconced in the top four, then it’s basically a case of three into two won’t fit, with Tottenham, Newcastle United, and Manchester United fighting it out for Champions League football next season.
Three points separate the three teams at present, and the visit of Manchester United to face Tottenham on their own turf is nothing short of vital if Stellini is going to get a spot in the showpiece tournament for next season.
That will be the very least Spurs fans will expect from this campaign.
Manchester United, on the other hand, have already achieved a great deal in the first season of Erik ten Hag’s reign. The Dutchman secured an EFL Cup success, and his team are in the FA Cup semi-finals and the Europa League quarters, so that will mean much more action for his tired team to cover before the season is out.
Back-to-back home wins over Brentford and Everton have steadied the ship after a run of three games that saw them humbled 7-0 at Liverpool, draw at home to bottom-of-the-table Southampton and lose at Newcastle United 2-0.
They are heavily reliant on goal-scorer Marcus Rashford, and he’s not disappointed, netting a career-high of 28 goals.
United have already played 49 games in all competitions and, in theory, have a potential dozen plus more to play, but their trip to Tottenham may well be one of the most important in their run-in.
Games between these two have almost always been productive affairs with some truly memorable occasions over the years, the likes of which that stand out include the following.
Tottenham 3-5 Manchester United (2001)
Glenn Hoddle’s side were 3-0 up at half-time before Andy Cole, Laurent Blanc, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Juan Sebastian Veron, and David Beckham replied for the visitors.
Manchester United 1-6 Tottenham (2020)
Incredibly Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring after two minutes, but then the Spurs avalanche took over, with both Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son scoring braces in a match that was sadly played in front of no fans due to coronavirus restrictions.
Manchester United 2-1 Tottenham (1999)
It was the final game of the season, and Sir Alex Ferguson’s side needed a win and went behind early on to a goal from Les Ferdinand. Fortunately for the Scot, goals from David Beckham and Andy Cole gave them the title in their famous treble-winning campaign.
