Man United vs Tottenham: A Fight for Form and Fortune

Erik Ten Hag of Manchester United and Ange Postecoglou of Tottenham Hotspur are both under considerable pressure.

After five games this season, Manchester United has two wins, two losses, and one draw. For many Red Devils, this is a terrible start to their season. Anyway, Tottenham haven't fared much better, with only two victories, two defeats, and a draw in their first five games of the season.

Manchester United and Spurs, can't be separated

You may have noticed that both teams enter this fixture with identical results, but their similarities extend beyond just those results. Both United and Tottenham have shown dominance in possession; they create multiple scoring opportunities but fail to capitalise on them.

In Manchester United's frustrating 0-0 tie with Crystal Palace, they did everything they needed to win but came up short, while Spurs did enough to overcome Leicester but ended up drawing 1-1. The United and Tottenham technical benches face a problem because both teams start strong, demonstrating dominance in the first half with great performances, but they frequently struggle to maintain that consistency until the end of the match.

Both teams have 7 points, although they could have performed better if they had been clinical. Beyond the results, both teams have improved this season compared to last.

Following major investments in preparing their squads, both Ten Hag and Postecoglou as per beIN are under intense pressure to deliver results. United fans will be hoping to see a turnaround after a dismal start to the season. They will be eager to beat Postecoglou's Spurs, whom they were unable to upset last season.

Ten Hag has tough tactical decisions to make ; he needs his attack to click because, as many have suggested, if United can overcome their scoring problems, they are a formidable force.
