Tottenham host Man United in the Premier League having had a full week’s rest for the first time in months. Let’s take a look at their head-to-head record from the last ten fixtures in all competitions between the two sides.
Recent record can give Tottenham hope vs Man United
The complete history of Tottenham against Manchester United tilts heavily in favour of the Red Devils.
Manchester United have won just under half of the 189 competitive matches they have played against Tottenham.
However, under Ange Postecoglou, Spurs have secured a collection of better results. After their hectic 4-3 win in the Carabao Cup, Spurs may have the confidence to take on United with the belief they can win.
Tottenham record vs Man United:
Win: 4
Draw: 2
Loss: 4
Goals for: 22
Goals against: 19
Postecoglou remains undefeated against Manchester United as Spurs manager and will be hoping to continue that run.
There has been constant managerial turnover
Postecoglou will once again face up against Manchester United’s new manager, Ruben Amorim. This is the 7th different managerial match-up within the last 12 fixtures between the two sides.
Tottenham have been led out by five different managers if you include the period where Ryan Mason saw out the end of the 2022/23 Premier League season.
Infamously, a 3-0 home loss in this tie proved to be the trigger which saw Nuno Espírito Santo relieved from his duties as both teams considered free-agent Antonio Conte to take over their teams.
The win saw Ole Gunnar Solskjær keep his position at United but was replaced less than a month later.
Tottenham have a chance for a reset
Tottenham finally have some players returning from their long-running and widespread injury crisis.
James Maddison, Wilson Odobert, Destiny Udogie and Guglielmo Vicario have all returned to team training and are in contention for selection in the match-day squad.
The last match between the two sides was the first time in four years that a substitute scored in a Spurs vs United match. Those goals all came from Manchester United subs. Hopefully Spurs’ gradually improving squad depth increases the likelihood of a Tottenham substitute making an impact in the upcoming match.
