Man United vs Spurs match prediction
This is a game between two clubs who have made a right mess of their opening five league games.
United sit 12th with five points; Spurs are bottom with only two.
Nobody is arriving in great shape, but somebody has to leave Old Trafford feeling slightly less miserable.
United have more firepower on paper.
Bryan Mbeumo has been one of their few consistently threatening attackers, Matheus Cunha gives them a bit of chaos, and Bruno Fernandes is still capable of deciding any match if Spurs give him room.
Tottenham need a response badly, but they have scored only 2 league goals this season and have a long injury list.

- Both teams scored in 3 of Man United’s last 5 games and 2 of Spurs’.
- Over 2.5 goals landed in 3 of Man United’s last 5 and 2 of Spurs’.
- Man United kept 1 clean sheet in their last 5. Spurs kept 2.
- Man United sit 12th on 5 points (1 win, 2 draws, 2 losses). Spurs sit 20th on 2 points (2 draws, 3 losses).
Spurs have conceded 8 goals in their last 5, so we expect United to find a way through.
Man United: Tom Heaton (hamstring) and Manuel Ugarte (knee) are out. Marcus Rashford (hip), Benjamin Sesko (shin), Patrick Dorgu (hamstring), Noussair Mazraoui (back), Amad, Matthijs de Ligt and Karl Darlow are in doubt. Kobbie Mainoo and Carlos Baleba are available. The doubts over Rashford and Sesko leave Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes as United’s main scoring threats.
Spurs: Pedro Porro (hamstring), Mykhailo Mudryk (ankle), Dejan Kulusevski (knee), Wilson Odobert (knee) and Xavi Simons (knee) are out, and Jan Paul van Hecke (foot) is in doubt. Micky van de Ven is expected to play. That injury list is another reason we’re backing United.
- Bryan Mbeumo anytime goalscorer @ $2.50: our goalscorer pick and United’s shortest-priced player to score, with 2 league goals this season.
- Bruno Fernandes anytime goalscorer @ $2.80: United’s top scorer with 3 league goals, and fit to play.
Rashford is $2.88 to score, but his hip problem makes him a doubt, so we’ve left him out.
