Man utd match records with Tottenham
After suffering a huge loss to their city rivals in their last fixture, Manchester United hopes to bounce back with key players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Edinson Cavani and Raphael Varane hoping to get a shot at redemption in their Premier League against Tottenham.

Looking back at their track record against Tottenham, Tottenham have won two of their last three Premier League away games against Manchester United, as many as they had in their first 26 visits to Old Trafford in the competition, where they lost 21 times.
Host, Manchester United are winless in their last three games in all competitions, losing one – they’ve not gone longer without a win since a run of six games between September and October in 2019.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been involved in seven goals in his last five Premier League games against Spurs (four goals, three assists), both scoring and assisting against them in three different matches in this run, including in the reverse fixture.
Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has won four of his six meetings with Manchester United in all competitions, most recently winning the FA Cup final 1-0 against them in May 2018. However, the Italian has lost on both of his visits to Old Trafford against the Red Devils.
Tottenham striker Harry Kane has scored 93 goals in 137 Premier League away games – one more will see him equal Wayne Rooney for the most goals scored away from home in the competition’s history.
Hopefully there will be more historic moments when both side takes to the turf on Saturday evening.
