Tottenham have not beaten Manchester United on home turf for the past five Premier League seasons but are a value bet to buck that trend.
The Red Devils posted some moderate results in pre-season and looked badly undercooked for Monday’s opening match against Wolves.
Spurs made a solid start at Brentford and appeal as 37/20 underdogs for our initial Tottenham vs Man Utd prediction.
Tottenham began life without Harry Kane with an entertaining 2-2 draw away to the Bees, when all the goals came before half-time.
Cristian Romero put Spurs ahead after 11 minutes, but Brentford hit back to take the lead before Emerson equalised just prior to the interval.
Recent signing Micky van de Ven has predicted Tottenham can achieve “beautiful things” under attack-minded coach Ange Postecoglou.
“He’s a really good trainer,” said the Netherlands Under-21 defender, who joined from Wolfsburg for an initial £34.5million fee, which could rise to £43.1m in add-ons.
“He has a good view on football, that’s what I think. Attacking football is what I love, playing with a lot of space in the back doesn’t matter for me.
“Offensive football is what I like and I think if we play a lot of offensive football and we train, we train, we train – then I think we can do some beautiful things.”
New Spurs skipper Son Heung-min has a good record against United, netting four times in the last six meetings.
Looking at the Tottenham vs Man Utd odds, he appeals at 6/1 to break the deadlock here.
United were more than a touch fortunate to pick up maximum points from their opening fixture, with Raphael Varane’s 76th-minute header the only goal of the game against Wolves.
Wanderers wasted several good opportunities to get on the scoresheet before and after that decider and should have had a penalty when goalkeeper Andre Onana clattered into Sasa Kalajdzic deep into time added on.
They registered 23 attempts at goal, the most for any visiting team at Old Trafford since Chelsea had 25 in November 2005.
The Red Devils struggled to find any flow and were second best in the second half until Aaron Wan-Bissaka latched onto a dinked ball from Bruno Fernandes and set up Varane.
“It was a tough game,” admitted Erik ten Hag. “I think we can do much better on the ball.
“Our decision-making could have been better and we were not aggressive enough from that point of view, but there are a lot of positives to take. We fought for our lives and we survived with three points, so well done.”
United’s outstanding home record under Ten Hag remained intact, but they struggled on the road last term, losing eight times and conceding 33 goals.
They may find an attack-minded Spurs outfit hard to handle, so 14/5 for a home win and over 2.5 goals in the game is added to our Tottenham vs Man Utd betting tips.
