Manchester United - Tottenham Hotspur team news and expert analysis
The Old Trafford giants parted ways with Ruben Amorim in the winter. It seemed they had written off the season, but Carrick, who was considered only an interim manager, managed to guide his players to third place. However, they began the new football year with a 0-2 defeat to Hull and later managed to beat only Ipswich and Sabah in the Champions League. They have also already exited the League Cup, losing 2-3 to Brighton.
The London club won the Europa League in 2025, but came close to relegation to the Championship in the spring. Only the appointment of De Zerbi helped them finish in seventeenth place. Roberto is now on the brink of dismissal: despite spending hundreds of millions on new arrivals, the team has already been knocked out of the League Cup and has collected just two points in the Premier League.
Manchester United have reached a statistical balance: they score and concede 1.6 goals per game. The capital's surprise underdogs average just 0.4 goals scored and 1.6 conceded.
