Football commentary Man United vs Tottenham in Premier League

Football commentary on the Man United - Tottenham match within the framework of round 6 of the Premier League 2024-2025 season.

Overview

Man United host Tottenham at home in the highlight match of round 6 of the Premier League. Both teams have not performed convincingly this season. Therefore, they are ranked 10th and 11th respectively in the rankings, Tottenham is above thanks to a better goal difference.

To be fair, Erik ten Hag's side are gradually improving in their play. They are controlling the ball better and creating more chances. But the problem is that the "Red Devils" strikers keep wasting scoring opportunities. Against a strong opponent like Tottenham, Man United need to make the most of their chances if they do not want to suffer a defeat.

The characteristic of Man United’s style of play this season is that they try to steal the ball in the opponent’s half and organize quick attacks. Against weaker opponents, they easily create pressure and dominate. But when facing teams that are good at passing the ball and not much different in class, Man United’s style of play has problems. The proof is that Man United lost to Brighton or Liverpool, teams that are very good at escaping pressing.

Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham are also a team that is very good at escaping pressing and possessing impressive attacking power. Moreover, "The Rooster" has also won all 3 recent matches in all competitions. Obviously, they will know how to take advantage of the opportunity if Man United is too busy pushing up.

Ten Hag made a mistake when choosing to play an attacking game against Liverpool and as a result, Man United lost 0-3. Will the Dutch strategist continue to let his players play an attacking game against Tottenham? Ten Hag's decision and the way Man United enter the game will greatly affect the outcome of this match. Because unlike the home team, Tottenham will choose to play an attacking game, regardless of who the opponent is.

Human resources situation

Ten Hag confirmed that Man United have no fresh injury concerns. Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Leny Yoro remain sidelined, while Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo and Ramsus Hojlund are all pushing for a start.

On the other side of the front line, Tottenham will assess Son Heung-min after the striker was forced off against Qarabag due to fatigue. Richarlison and Wilson Odobert are certain to miss out.

Cristian Romero will return from suspension in Europe, while James Maddison and Pedro Porro are expected to start.

Expected lineup:

Man United: Onana, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot, Ugarte, Mainoo, Amad, Fernandes, Rashford, Zirkzee.

Tottenham: Vicario, Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie, Bentancur, Sarr, Kulusevski, Maddison, Johnson, Solanke.

The match between Man United and Tottenham takes place at 22:30 on September 29 (Vietnam time).
