United In Focus

Manchester United are looking to continue their unbeaten run in the Premier League by getting back to winning ways against Tottenham Hotspur.

After Manchester United’s 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest, Ruben Amorim missed a glorious opportunity to make it four consecutive wins.

The Red Devils had to settle for a point against Sean Dyche’s side after Amad scored a late equaliser, but the objective now is to get back to winning ways by taking three points from Tottenham.

Amorim is not expected to make too many changes to his team because results have improved. United have struggled to win games consistently under the Portuguese coach, but that did not stop them from winning every Premier League match in October.

It would bode well if United could add three points to the board before the November international break.

How Manchester United could line-up to face Tottenham Hotspur

With just Lisandro Martinez ruled out for the trip to Tottenham, Amorim has plenty of options to select from.

Here is our predicted line-up in the 3-4-2-1 formation.

Goalkeeper

Senne Lammens has hardly put a foot out of place since making his debut in United’s 2-0 win over Sunderland. It was the game that started the unbeaten run, and long may it continue.

Hopefully, the 23-year-old can record his second clean sheet for the club against Tottenham.

Defence

Although Harry Maguire has another week of training under his belt, after missing a few games due to injury, Amorim is unlikely to make any changes in defence. Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Luke Shaw are the best options for the back-three right now.

At wing-back, Amorim could make a change with Patrick Dorgu replacing Diogo Dalot on the left. Amad should keep his place on the right flank because of the difference he makes in the final third.

Who should start at left wing-back against Tottenham Hotspur?

Midfield

Amorim believes Kobbie Mainoo deserves more game time, but he won’t be dropping Casemiro or Bruno Fernandes anytime soon. Neither player should need a rest because they only had one game per week to focus on.

Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha have already made the number 10 roles their own, although they are versatile enough to play other roles whenever it’s necessary.

Should Kobbie Mainoo start against Tottenham Hotspur?

Striker

Manchester United take on Thomas Frank’s Tottenham side this weekend, and it will see him reunited with Bryan Mbeumo, but he’ll be petrified of another Red Devils star.

Thomas Frank will be fully aware of the firepower set to be lining up for Manchester United against Tottenham this weekend.

This is as Frank helped turn Bryan Mbeumo into the star that he is today, and he has always spoken highly of him, including last summer after he left Brentford.

Man Utd’s four losses vs Tottenham in 2024/25

“There is a reason why he costs x number of million pounds, and we do not have x number of million pounds to buy for. I would say that I would be surprised if a lot of big clubs don’t look at him.

“I would be surprised by what he has to offer. How many wingers score 20 goals for a mid-table club? And then with seven assists, plus his work ethic. And his character. All these things mean that he has a lot, so he is a good player.”

But it won’t only be Mbeumo he is fearing this weekend.

What Thomas Frank has previously said about Manchester United’s Matheus Cunha

While Mbeumo is the Premier League player of the month, Tottenham will also have to worry about an increasingly deadly Matheus Cunha.

More United News

Since returning from injury, Cunha has been in sensational form for United, and his performances have been much better than his one goal suggests. And Frank will be worried.

Speaking to Brentford club media ahead of a game against Wolves last season, Frank was full of praise for Cunha.

“They’re great on counters and in Matheus Cunha, they have one of the best offensive players in the league. He can do something out of nothing and create a goal.”

Ruben Amorim on Matheus Cunha

Cunha is a maverick. Cunha does things that are hard to find in some players because he plays with the ball, but he has an aura that can do something to opponent’s heads and that is really important.

Tottenham will be scared to take on two in-form forwards in Cunha and Mbeumo, with a far from impressive home record; it has the makings of a statement win for United.

Matheus Cunha has never been a loser against Tottenham

It won’t just be Frank nervous for what Cunha will do against Spurs, but so will the players and fans in North London.

This is because they will know Cunha has never gone to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and left with a defeat.

In his four games there, Cunha has scored once and assisted once, while playing a part in three Wolves victories and one draw.

This record will mean little, but it does suggest Cunha will have absolutely no consideration for defeat in this fixture against Tottenham.

Cunha could really hurt Tottenham as he is finding form at the perfect time.

Ruben Amorim has sent a reality check to his Manchester United players over something he noticed ahead of the Premier League match against Tottenham.

Manchester United face a tough test on Saturday afternoon when the Red Devils visit the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to face Thomas Frank’s Spurs side.

The Red Devils took their foot off the pedal when it came to their performance last Saturday during the Premier League tie against Nottingham Forest at City Ground.

United were 1-0 up against Nottingham Forest at half-time after Bruno Fernandes picked out Casemiro for the Red Devils’ first-half opener from a corner kick.

Sean Dyche’s men rallied back early in the second half and Forest were 2-1 up against United only five minutes after the action had restarted at City Ground.

However, Ruben Amorim was able to avoid overseeing a United defeat last weekend after Amad Diallo’s sensational equaliser rescued a point for the Red Devils.

What Ruben Amorim noticed about Man Utd’s performance against Nottingham Forest ahead of the Tottenham match

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim had seen the Red Devils pick up three consecutive Premier League wins ahead of the result against Nottingham Forest.

The Red Devils dropped valuable points at City Ground and Amorim spotlighted some of the “small details” that he noticed from the Premier League match.

“You can attack really well,” he said at his pre-match press conference on Thursday, as per Manchester United’s official website.

“Sometimes when you defend better, you attack better, so I think it’s not that.”

Speaking at the Carrington training complex, Amorim added: “It’s the way we defend the box, but I think the last game we struggled a bit inside the box, because outside the box we allowed the crosses without any pressure.

“So, these small details you watch from the last game, we worked on during this week to try to improve that.”

Ruben Amorim sends a warning to his Man Utd players over a key detail from the 2-2 Nottingham Forest draw

Forest refused to let up with their attack against United and WhoScored revealed that Sean Dyche’s side registered 17 shots against the Red Devils last week.

Amorim has insisted that the Red Devils “cannot allow” another Premier League team to repeat what Forest did to United in the 2-2 draw at City Ground.

“We suffer goals, especially [at] the beginning of the season, but we didn’t allow much to Arsenal to win that game, but in our last game, they had 17 shots,” he added.

“That, we cannot allow. That is something that we need to change and we pay attention to that.

“We can attack the same way; we can score even more goals, but we need to defend better.”

The Red Devils and Spurs’ Premier League clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is scheduled for a 12:30pm kick-off time in the UK.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has admitted that he is not complacent about one issue facing the Red Devils in the 2025-26 Premier League campaign.

Ruben Amorim was at the Carrington training complex and attended his pre-match press conference on Thursday ahead of the Red Devils’ away trip at the weekend.

Manchester United will face Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, with kick-off for the Premier League match slated for 12:30pm UK time.

The Red Devils’ showdown with Tottenham will be their final Premier League match before the start of the November international break.

Amorim’s men are eighth in the Premier League table, while Spurs are level on points with the Red Devils and Thomas Frank’s side are currently sixth.

Ruben Amorim asked about an elephant in the room over Man Utd’s 2025-26 Premier League season

Manchester United have won five of their opening 10 Premier League matches under Ruben Amorim since the start of the 2025-26 season in August.

More United News

The Red Devils were on a three-match winning streak in October before United faced Nottingham Forest last Saturday and dropped points at City Ground.

Nottingham Forest stunned United in the second half after going 2-1 up and the Red Devils found a late equaliser after a stunning first-time volley from Amad Diallo.

The Red Devils have managed to keep one clean sheet since the start of the season and United manager Amorim is not burying his head in the sand over the issue.

“Yeah, it’s a problem, especially if you see the league nowadays,” he said at his pre-match press conference, as per Manchester United’s official website.

“The team that is winning all the games is not suffering goals, maybe [even] some shots on target, and that is a big thing.

“When you have talented players, if you defend well, in one opportunity you can score a goal and win a game, but I think it’s more [of] a team thing.”

What Ruben Amorim thinks Man Utd must do to improve their clean-sheet record in the Premier League

The Red Devils’ only clean sheet from their 10 Premier League matches this season came during United’s 2-0 win over Sunderland at Old Trafford in October.

The Premier League club’s win over the Black Cats came before the October international break, with Senne Lammens making his United debut at the time.

Speaking on United’s need to improve their clean-sheet record, Amorim explained: “We need to defend better, we need to be more aggressive.

“That part of the energy when we have the full energy in every ball, we defend better.”

The 40-year-old United head coach added: “So everything is connected, but of course we have a lot to do.

“We cannot suffer the amount of goals that we are suffering and that is a thing we need to improve.”

United have won three of their last five Premier League matches ahead of their encounter with Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the weekend.

Ruben Amorim has four options available to select from at left-wing back when Manchester United face Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, but it remains to be seen if he will stick with Diogo Dalot after the Portuguese full-back’s underwhelming display against Nottingham Forest.

Manchester United drew 2-2 with Nottingham Forest to make it four matches unbeaten last Saturday.

Ruben Amorim’s side will try to increase their unbeaten run by getting back to winning ways this weekend, when they seek revenge from Tottenham Hotspur after losing the Europa League final against the London outfit in May.

United currently have the same amount of points as Tottenham (17), albeit with a worse goal difference, but a win would see the Red Devils overtake Thomas Frank’s side in the table.

After dropping points against Forest, Amorim may look to make changes to his team for the trip to London.

It raises a question about who should start at left wing-back because nobody has been able to make the role their own yet.

Here are four options Amorim could select at left wing-back.

More United News

Diogo Dalot

Dalot was among United’s lowest-rated performers against Forest after being repeatedly caught out of position. The Portugal international was at fault for Nicolo Savona’s goal, which gave the hosts a surprise lead five minutes into the second half.

Amorim may decide to switch things around against Spurs by selecting one of his other three options at left wing-back.

Patrick Dorgu

Although Patrick Dorgu is probably most likely to return to the line-up, the young Dane has yet to fully convince United fans that he is the answer. At the age of 21, Amorim has been careful not to play the former Lecce ace every week.

Dorgu has made 10 appearances so far this season, and he will be hoping to add to his tally of one assist.

TalkingPoints

Patrick Dorgu has changed the Denmark manager’s mind since joining Manchester United

“He has really convinced me… I was a little doubtful in Lecce, because when I watched the games, he was more of a winger than a back, and his defensive skills were debatable. But I have seen him many times now, and I am actually quite impressed with what he has achieved defensively.”

Brian Riemer – Denmark manager

Luke Shaw

Amorim has been careful not to use Luke Shaw at left wing-back, despite playing as a full-back for most of his professional career. The 30-year-old has been a mainstay in the back-three along with Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro.

While Lisandro Martinez’s return could see Amorim trial Shaw at left wing-back in the future, it’s hard to imagine why he would take him out of his current role now.

Furthermore, Phil Jones reckons Shaw is back to his best in his new role at centre-back.

Diego Leon

It would be a shock to see Diego Leon given his United debut away at Tottenham when United already have three senior players ahead of the Paraguayan in the pecking order.

Leon’s time will come, but Amorim has no reason to throw him into such a fixture when three senior options are available.

A cameo from the bench is a possibility, although that would still come as a surprise.

Manchester United are now prepared to roll out the same strategic call that was made around Ruben Amorim and his players for the Nottingham Forest match.

Nottingham Forest hosted Manchester United at City Ground on the weekend and Sean Dyche’s struggling side were a tricky test for the in-form Red Devils side.

United had beaten Brighton 4-2 at Old Trafford ahead of the Forest encounter, which had chalked up the Red Devils’ third consecutive Premier League win.

What Man Utd noticed about Ruben Amorim and his players ahead of the 2-2 Premier League draw vs Nottingham Forest

A key moment before Manchester United’s trip to City Ground was the change in schedule that the Red Devils experienced, including for manager Ruben Amorim.

More United News

United manager Amorim had been tipped to hold his pre-match press conference for the Nottingham Forest match on Friday last week ahead of the Saturday fixture.

However, the media briefing involving the 40-year-old Portuguese coach was pulled ahead to last Thursday instead, with The Daily Mail now explaining the change.

According to the newspaper, the United first-team players were left ‘hanging around’ on Fridays for away matches due to when the press conferences were held.

The Red Devils’ squad would train at around 11am and Amorim would be expected to hold his press conference at the Carrington training complex not long after.

The Premier League have a deadline that the press conferences must be done before 1:30pm, which would leave United players with little time to head home.

Why Man Utd changed the press conference schedule and their stance for the Tottenham match

The Daily Mail reports that the Red Devils made the ‘decision’ to shift the schedule around last week, including for United to ‘train later’ on Friday.

The news outlet says the call would allow Amorim and his men ample time to train before heading off for the Forest match, with his press conference date changed.

It is now expected that United will repeat the call for this week, with the Red Devils head coach to hold his press conference for the Tottenham match on Thursday.

United travel to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday afternoon for their Premier League encounter with Spurs ahead of the November international break.

United won’t face the ‘issue again for quite a while’ due to the Red Devils not playing another away match on Saturday until the Arsenal clash in January 2026.

Manchester United and England legend Wayne Rooney shared his two cents on the Red Devils’ upcoming encounter with Spurs in the Premier League this week.

The Red Devils have not lost in their last four Premier League matches and Manchester United have won three of their last four league fixtures this season.

United were on a three-match Premier League winning streak ahead of dropping points on Saturday afternoon to Nottingham Forest at City Ground.

Casemiro opened the scoring for United against Nottingham Forest on the weekend before the Red Devils blew their 1-0 lead in the first five minutes of the second half.

Morgan Gibbs-White netted for Sean Dyche’s men in the 48th minute before Nicolo Savona fired Nottingham Forest into the lead over United only two minutes later.

United were fortunate to snatch an important point at City Ground on Saturday after Amad Diallo found the all-important equaliser with a sensational first-time volley.

Wayne Rooney on what Tottenham vs Man Utd will mean for both Premier League teams

Manchester United have dropped to eighth place after the 2-2 Premier League result against Sean Dyche’s Nottingham Forest side away from home on the weekend.

Ruben Amorim’s men now face a tough test in the Premier League ahead of the November international break, with United visiting the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham are level on points with United and Spurs are fifth in the Premier League table, but Thomas Frank’s men suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Chelsea on Saturday.

Wayne Rooney has now insisted that a win for either United or Tottenham in this Saturday’s “massive” Premier League clash could be a huge boost this season.

“It’s a big game, I think, after United [have] obviously [had their] recent run,” he said on BBC Sport’s The Wayne Rooney Show.

“They look to be back into a decent place, anyway. And so, I think it’s a big game after Tottenham losing to Chelsea.

“Whoever wins that, [it] could really kick them on. Whoever loses it, [it] could be a tough one to take that. So, I think it’s a massive game coming up then.”

Tottenham fan Michael McIntyre tells Wayne Rooney his feelings about Spurs and Man Utd’s upcoming match

Joining United legend Rooney on the podcast was British comedian Michael McIntyre, who is a lifelong Tottenham fan, after this weekend’s results.

Michael McIntyre admitted that United could be a real test for Spurs, with the stand-up comedian praising the likes of Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha.

“Manchester United? Oh my god. They’re fantastic for us,” he said.

“We played them four times last season – in our worst ever season – and we managed to beat them four times.”

McIntyre continued: “Now, I think we’re going to really struggle, to be honest. Man United look really good. Mbeumo is obviously great, Cunha, I mean, I’m terrified.

“But the thing about Spurs-Man United is we’re both terrified of each other because we’re both equally stressed and have very little faith in our own teams.

“So, I don’t know, could go either way. I think it’ll be fun to watch.”

United and Spurs’ Premier League clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is slated for a 12:30pm kick-off time on Saturday.

Harry Kane is currently enjoying his football at Bayern Munich, but there was a time when the former Tottenham Hotspur striker would have turned down the Bundesliga for a move to Manchester United.

It has been two years since Harry Kane stepped out of his comfort zone by leaving England, where he starred for many years in the Premier League, to chase trophies with Bayern Munich in Germany.

There were no trophies in Kane’s first season at Bayern Munich as Bayer Leverkusen were crowned Bundesliga champions under Xabi Alonso. However, Kane won his first domestic title in 2024/25 when Bayern restored their place at the top of German football.

Things could have been very different for Kane had he joined United instead of Bayern, especially when you consider how the Red Devils have reached new lows in the past two years. Former United manager Ron Atkinson said Kane would have solved problems at United.

Kane has continued to supply the goals for Bayern by scoring 18 in 10 matches this season, as well as three assists for his teammates in Bavaria.

United fans will argue that Kane would have eased the pain with his goals, but most are hopeful that Benjamin Sesko can be the future of the club as a goalscorer, after joining from RB Leipzig in the summer.

Harry Kane was open to joining Man Utd

Kane left Tottenham for Bayern two years ago.

Erik ten Hag was in charge of United at the time, but United opted to go for a young option with Rasmus Hojlund, despite his lack of experience in the Premier League.

Hojlund managed just 26 goals in his first two seasons at United before being sent on loan to Napoli in an attempt to revive his career.

Now, respected reporter Ben Jacobs claims Kane had no issue with joining United when he left Tottenham.

“Kane as far as I was told at the time had no issue joining Manchester United from Spurs,” Jacobs told The United Stand.

“It wasn’t a case of ‘if I leave Spurs I have to leave the Premier League because I never want to wear another shirt.’ So there could be some encouragement there for Manchester United.”

Earlier reports stated that Kane was still open to the idea of joining United or another Premier League club to break Alan Shearer’s goal record.

Michael Owen and Rio Ferdinand agreed that Kane would have transformed United in recent years.

Harry Kane cools talk of Premier League return

Now 32, Kane has dismissed claims of a return to the Premier League, revealing he is focused on Bayern and could extend his stay in Bavaria.

Kane is currently on international duty with England and looks set to lead the Three Lions to the World Cup next summer.

Speaking to The Standard, Kane has addressed speculation over his long-term future amid talk of a new contract at Bayern and a possible return to England at some point.

“The MLS would be something later in my career when I am thinking about the last couple of years or so. In terms of staying there [at Bayern] longer, I could definitely see that.

“I spoke openly after one of the recent games a couple of weeks ago that I have not had those conversations with Bayern yet, but if they were to arise I would be willing to talk and have an honest conversation.

“Obviously it depends on how the next year or so goes, what we achieve together. Right now, I would say we are in a fantastic moment and I am not thinking about anything else.

“In terms of the Premier League, I don’t know. If you had asked me when I first left to go to Bayern, I would have said for sure I would come back. Now I have been there a couple of years I would say probably say that has gone down a little bit, not so much, but I wouldn’t say I would never go back.

“What I have learnt in my career is that different opportunities and different timings happen and things fall in place. Going back to my first point, with Bayern right now, I am fully all in with Bayern. If there was a conversation about extending then we will see, but I have still got this season and another season.

“It is not like I am in my last year, it is not like there is any panic in that sense. I am calm, I love the manager at Bayern, I think he is fantastic and, as always in my career, as long we are improving and I am improving, then I am happy to see what we can achieve.

“If there is going to be an extension it has to work for everyone and it has to have a clear vision on where we see the club. As I say, the manager is a big part of that, the players are a big part of that. Personally I don’t want to rush into anything, the conversation I am sure will be one we have and then we will go from there.

“I am extremely happy there, my wife and kids are happy to stay and as you get older that a big part of any decision you make.

“But, as always, you never know what is around the corner. I am not going to put my eggs in any basket. I am going to enjoy what I am doing and right now that is at Bayern Munich, definitely for this season and probably next season that is going to be the way.”

Manchester United’s Premier League rivals Tottenham are being linked with a majority takeover deal after a boardroom reshuffle.

It has been over 18 months since the change of ownership at Manchester United when Sir Jim Ratcliffe completed a £1.25bn takeover to purchase a minority stake in the club.

Ratcliffe now owns around 29% of United but, importantly, has complete sporting control with the Glazer family happy to take a back seat.

During the takeover saga, Sir Jim Ratcliffe went head-to-head with Qatar’s Sheikh Jassim and came out on top. Jassim was linked with a Tottenham takeover before and after his interest in United.

Spurs recently announced the departure of long-term chairman Daniel Levy, which has sparked rumours of a potential takeover on the horizon.

Tottenham’s £4bn takeover valuation suits Sir Jim Ratcliffe

Tottenham have confirmed interest in a takeover, but current owners ENIC have also claimed that the club is definitely not for sale.

However, the Daily Mail report that interested parties value Tottenham around £4 billion with a takeover not entirely ruled out.

More United News

In comparison, Ratcliffe’s bid for United valued the Red Devils at around £5 billion. Jassim submitted a £5bn proposal during the takeover saga, but ultimately it was Ratcliffe’s offer that was preferred by the Glazers.

As reported by The Athletic, it has been strongly suggested that Ratcliffe eventually wants full control at United by continuing to buy shares from the Glazer family.

Ratcliffe has a ‘right of first offer’ on any shares the Glazers try to sell, which puts him in a good position to continue building his ownership stake at Old Trafford.

If he had any concerns about any other bidders coming in, or the Glazers raising the price, the Tottenham valuation suggests that he is already paying a premium rate for shares in United.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe can continue building Man United stake

Ratcliffe’s infrastructure investment at United has already boosted his ownership to around 29%, and it doesn’t look as though he will stop there.

The price of purchased shares so far value United at around £5bn, and the Glazers must be pleased with that price when compared to Tottenham.

Tottenham have a new £1.2bn state-of-the-art stadium capable of bringing in hundreds of millions in revenue, a London location and revenue streams from European football.

United in Focus recently spoke to Kinnaird Sports Intelligence and their model valued United at just £1.75bn which suggests Ratcliffe is massively overpaying.

Ultimately, the Glazers should be delighted if Ratcliffe continues to buy up their shares at the current price. That is a win-win for all involved.

Tottenham’s stunning acquisition of Joao Palhinha from Bayern Munich has had a direct knock-on effect for one ‘heavily linked’ Manchester United player, according to sensational reports.

Joao Palhinha was subject to Manchester United’s interest this summer and the Tottenham summer signing is all too familiar with Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim.

The 30-year-old midfielder played under the United manager during his loan spell at Braga, with Ruben Amorim in charge at the Primeira Liga club at the time.

Palhinha would link up again with Amorim after the Portuguese coach left his role at Braga and became the head coach of Primeira Liga outfit Sporting CP in 2020.

Fast-forward to the 2025 summer transfer window and United had been linked with Palhinha, but a move for the Portuguese defensive midfielder failed to materialise.

Joao Palhinha’s move from Bayern Munich to Tottenham has caused a potential roadblock for Man Utd

Manchester United’s reluctance to sign Joao Palhinha allowed Premier League side Tottenham to swoop in for the out-of-favour Bayern Munich star last week.

More United News

Tottenham completed their signing of the Portugal international on a season-long loan deal, with an option to make Palhinha’s move permanent to England in 2026.

Bayern’s asking price for a permanent deal is set at £25.9m for midfielder Palhinha, who had only arrived at the Bundesliga champions last summer from Fulham.

According to CF Bayern Insider, Palhinha’s move to Tottenham from Bayern has now thrown a spanner in the works for United-linked midfielder Leon Goretzka.

The outlet claims that Leon Goretzka is now ‘expected to stay at the Allianz Arena’ for the forthcoming Bundesliga campaign with the German champions.

It has been added that United were ‘heavily linked’ with the 30-year-old German midfielder at one time and there ‘were suggestions’ that Bayern could sell Goretzka.

Bayern Munich’s transfer stance on Leon Goretzka after Man Utd-linked Joao Palhinha made his exit to Tottenham

Leon Goretzka is under contract with Bayern Munich until 2026 and there had been rumbling that the German side could cash in on him now ahead of his deal expiring.

CF Bayern Insider said that the Germany midfielder ‘fought back brilliantly’ amid rumours around his exit last season and secured his ‘spot back’ in the starting XI.

The publication reports that the ‘perception’ around Goretzka has now ‘changed’ and there is ‘no way’ that Bayern would sell the midfielder after Palhinha’s departure.

Goretzka has been at the Allianz Arena since 2018 after his exit from German side Schalke and is now a key part of manager Vincent Kompany’s plans at Bayern.
