Man United vs Tottenham: 3 Red Devils who could make the difference
By Kian Long
The biggest Premier League fixture of the week is played at Old Trafford. So, here are 3 Red Devils who could make the difference for Man United vs Tottenham.
Man United come up against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League this weekend. Both teams are level on points and need to start winning their Premier League matches.
Erik ten Hag comes up against Ange Postecoglou for the third time. Both managers are under pressure from their respective fanbases currently, which makes for an interesting affair
Without further ado, here are three Manchester United players who could provide the difference. They will all be key to influencing the result against Tottenham Hotspur this weekend...
Man United vs Tottenham: 3 Red Devils who could make the difference
1. Andre Onana
It seems obvious to say that the role of a goalkeeper is under appreciated. However, Andre Onana has made it quite impossible for Man United fans to ignore him.
In fact, he has made three clean sheets in the Premier League so far this season. No goalkeeper has kept more clean sheets than Onana. If he could make it a fourth against Tottenham, it has to count for something.
The strikers have not been doing their job for Man United. So, things are still relatively in control, because Andre Onana has been doing his job.
2. Christian Eriksen
Christian Eriksen is in inspired form and one of the few players stepping up for Man United as it stands. He will almost definitely start at the weekend against his former club, hoping for another fine display.
The midfield battle is often key in games like this. As a player who understands Tottenham and what they are about, Eriksen could be involved in some key duels while, obviously, trying to unlock the opposing defence.
3. Rasmus Hojlund
Blame should not be cast on Joshua Zirkzee. He is still acclimatising to the Premier League and he's been thrown in the deep end with Rasmus Hojlund injured.
However, now that Hojlund is back in contention, he could play a key role against Tottenham Hotspur. Tottenham definitely have holes in their defence to exploit, so Hojlund should step up to exploit them.
