We head into Saturday’s Premier League lunchtime kick-off at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium aiming to extend our longest ever winning run over Manchester United.
In our first reunion since last season’s UEFA Europa League Final, that notable victory in Bilbao claimed our first trophy in 17 years and also completed a four-game clean sweep across all competitions against the Red Devils last term.
Doing the league double for the first time in the Premier League era – winning 3-0 at Old Trafford in September 2024 and 1-0 on home soil in February – we secured a dramatic 4-3 home victory in the Carabao Cup quarter-final in December 2024 before rounding off with the 1-0 European showpiece success in May.
Enjoying strong success over United in recent years, those consecutive victories extended our unbeaten run to seven meetings across the board (W5, D2) - our longest streak in the history of this fixture - with our last defeat coming back in October 2022 (0-2 at Old Trafford).
A much-improved 4-0 home victory against FC Copenhagen in the UEFA Champions League was an encouraging response to the disappointing home loss to Chelsea and the Carabao Cup exit at Newcastle United and Thomas Frank will be looking to maintain momentum from the victory in midweek in another high-energy encounter in N17.
Opponents Man United have a near-identical top-flight record to us so far this term, both winning five and losing three of the opening 10 matches while scoring 17 goals apiece, yet we have conceded half as many goals (eight versus 16).
Ruben Amorim's side have been on a resurgence of late and head into matchday 11 on a four-match unbeaten run following three consecutive wins over Sunderland, Liverpool and Brighton before a 2-2 comeback draw at Nottingham Forest last time out.
Here are some other headline pre-match facts, courtesy of Opta, ahead of the Premier League's lunchtime kick-off:
Last season's four wins over Manchester United meant we became just the second side to do this after Everton in 1985/86.
Each of our last 12 Premier League goals against Man Utd have been scored by different players, with the last three being netted by players that will miss tomorrow's clash through injury (Dejan Kulusevski, Dominic Solanke and James Maddison).
We have won each of our two league games kicking off at 12.30pm on a Saturday this season, winning 2-0 at Manchester City and 2-1 at Leeds United.
We haven't lost any of our four league games this season that have come after playing in Europe in midweek (W3 D1).
The last time we won three consecutive league games against the Red Devils came between 1959 and 1960.
The last team to win five in a row against United were Liverpool between 2000 and 2002.
United have won just three of their last 25 league games in London (D6 L16), going winless in their last five visits to the capital since a 1-0 win at Fulham in January (D1 L4).
Amorim claimed his maiden Premier League Manager of the Month award last month after his joint-best unbeaten run since taking charge at Old Trafford, while United last had a longer run without losing across January and February 2024 (five games).
Man Utd's last away win against us came back in October 2021 under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (2-0), going winless in four visits since (D1 L3).
Bryan Mbeumo, October's Premier League Player of the Month, has had a hand in five goals across his last four league games against us (four goals, one assist).
Bruno Fernandes had five goal involvements in his first six Premier League games against us (three goals, two assists), but has since failed to score or assist in four appearances against Spurs.
