Manchester United take on the visitors Tottenham in the round 6 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, September 29th at Old Trafford (Manchester).
Manchester United disappointed their fans in the 2023/2024 season, especially after Erik ten Hag's promising first year in England, which saw them finish third in the Premier League and secure a cup triumph. Their return to the Champions League ended in disappointment as they finished fourth in a relatively easy group—falling behind not only Bayern Munich but also Galatasaray and Copenhagen, resulting in an early exit from European competition. Even with their schedule cleared of European commitments, United still slipped to 8th place in the Premier League. They would have missed out on European football altogether (and Erik ten Hag likely would have lost his job) if not for their FA Cup victory in the very last match of the season. As a result, the Dutchman stayed on and was bolstered by the arrivals of Joro, Zirkzee, De Ligt, Mazraoui, and Ugarte. However, the team's performances remain inconsistent. While it was understandable to lose the Super Cup to City on penalties, August saw defeats to Brighton and Liverpool, followed by a goalless draw against Crystal Palace in September. This week, they also drew in the Europa League with Twente, allowing the Dutch side to equalize in the second half.

Tottenham will try to improve after a slow start. The "Spurs" lost their best and most dangerous player—Harry Kane—last year. Kane, frustrated by his lack of trophies in London, pushed for a move to Bayern Munich (only to have a trophyless year in Munich). Even without him, under Postecoglou, Spurs showed improvement and had a real chance of finishing in the Champions League spots, ultimately ending above both Chelsea and Manchester United—but they lost out on 4th place to Aston Villa. To push further, Tottenham signed a new center forward, Solanke, this summer, offsetting his cost by selling unwanted players like Skipp, Højbjerg, and Emerson Royal. However, the start of the season was sluggish, with the team winning just one of their first four matches, against a struggling Everton. Only later did they manage back-to-back victories against Coventry in the League Cup and Brentford in the Premier League. They also secured a convincing and easy win in the Europa League against Qarabag.
In the last three encounters, Spurs are unbeaten, with two draws and one win. United are considered favorites at home, but their form raises doubts. We recommend betting on the visitors from London to avoid defeat.
Prediction for the match: Tottenham not to lose (X2).
