Spurs a challenge, they’ve got players coming back - Carrick

Manchester United host Tottenham in the Premier League’s early kick off this afternoon knowing that a victory will keep them in the top four and take them one step closer to securing Champions League qualification.

The feeling of hope has returned to Old Trafford since Michael Carrick replaced Ruben Amorim as head coach with the former United midfielder orchestrating three wins from his first three matches in charge. Carrick’s United have seen off both Manchester City and Arsenal before the restoration of ‘Fergie-time’ saw Benjamin Sesko steal all three points against Fulham late in stoppage time in their previous outing.

Carrick’s goal is to guide United to a top four (possibly top five) finish and guarantee them Champions League football next season and he has made the perfect start.

Today, United take on a struggled Tottenham side but Thomas Frank’s side will have gained confidence in the way they salvaged a 2-2 draw against Manchester City last weekend. The spotlight is still shining brightly on whether the Dane can turnaround the club’s league form and a win away at Old Trafford would ease the pressure.
