Manchester Utd vs Tottenham Prediction & Betting tips
A special encounter this week for Tottenham coach José Mourinho: the Portuguese will take on Manchester United with his team on Wednesday evening. Mourinho hopes to get revenge on Old Trafford, because he was fired by Manchester United about a year ago.
Manchester United:
The Manchester United players who used to work with Mourinho last season only want one thing on Wednesday evening: to beat their former manager. Players such as Paul Pogba (currently still injured) and Anthony Martial had a real hate on Mourinho and the Portuguese were no longer good at his player group. Ole Gunnar Solskjær is a lot better with the players of Manchester United, but the Norwegian is also currently under pressure at The Red Devils.
That is no more than justified, because Manchester United is in a disappointing ninth place in the Premier League. The Red Devils are closer to the number last in the Premier League than to league-leader Liverpool and that shows something. Manchester United already has 22 (!) Points behind Liverpool after fourteen games. If Solskjær loses on Wednesday evening (against Tottenham) and Saturday evening (against Manchester City) with Manchester United, it is certainly not impossible that another trainer in the Premier League can take his ass.
Tottenham Hotspur:
At Tottenham Hotspur, the season is not going as expected. This recently led to the resignation of Mauricio Pochettino and Mourinho was appointed as the successor to the Argentinian. The Special One has been on the Spurs bench three times so far and won all three games with Tottenham. After the victories over West Ham United (2-3) and Olympiakos Piraeus (4-2), Tottenham won 3-2 against AFC Bournemouth last weekend. What is striking, and we are certainly not used to Mourinho’s teams, is that Tottenham already had to score six goals in three games under the Portuguese.
Now it must be said that the Spurs took a first 3-0 lead against Bournemouth last Saturday and that only then did Bournemouth hit twice. Nevertheless, the defense is therefore a concern for Mourinho, because the Spurs also had to collect many goals under Pochettino. For Mourinho, the game against Manchester United on Wednesday evening will therefore be extra special and the Portuguese will be keen to silence the whole of Old Trafford with his team.
